One thing we should really think about is how we manage the 
developement of the base Squeak System in the future.
If you look at the structure now, we see that there are some Guides, 
not doing that much actually, because they are (mostly)
just hobby-squeakers.

Strangely enough, nobody of those who rely on Squeak for fundet 
projects or running companys are involved in any way.
Is that good or bad? The only thing I see is that the development and 
planning of squeak.org Squeak is quite badly out
of sync with all major projects.

What about having the big projects be part of the Guides with one 
developer/representative and make sure that these
guys talk to each other, and even: Meet face to face regularly, if 
possible.

IMHO that would require a commintment of all those people to put a 
certain amount of developer hours into
the booring stuff (Bug tracking/resolving, harvesting, discussing 
schedules, setting them up and take care that
they are met). So projects would "pay" with developer hours for making 
sure that the further development is in
sync with their project.

I think that something like that could bring some more professionalism 
into the whole game.
