I'd like to check the list of goals we agreed on 3.7 before going to
beta (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3491).

>From my POV we still have to work on:

- Fonts.  I remember you (Doug) said you were working on Accufonts and
Bitstream. how this work is going?

- Move to 4.0 and not to 3.7.  The .changes files is huge! And, from the
marketing POV, we have enough new features (babel, new look, ttf fonts,
etc) to consider a "new" version.

- What happened with m17n inclusion?  One of the goals is to make 3.7
(or 4 ;)) full translatable.

- I'd like to include the (just finished) Small-Land Project Repository
(a type of new superswiki) to the 3.7.  You can see the web frontend to
the repository in http://repository.small-land.org:8080/.  It's really
simple to add, just a new class is needed (a type of ServerDirectory)
and a registry on the servers list.  I'll post a changeset today.


Cheers,
