Hi karl


> I can do some stuff but I want a short introduction to how to do it. :-)
Thanks.
So I would suggest you to register to v39 and that we use this 
mailing-list to discuss.

Basically we wrote a roadmap for 3.9 and this would be good to more
or less arrive there. If there are some items you want to push let me 
know (For example, I would really like to have services (romain should
send us a version soon) and that all the UI use services.
In particular I would like to have all the browsers to use refactoring
when the RB engine is loaded).

Then we should have a look at the fixes proposed on mantis.
We do not have a look at the fixes that concerned packages that are 
managed by a team.

We were used to sync with marcus using
	http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5753

Currently we need beta tester for traits (have a look at 6705 on the ftp 
server)

Then we can start that way: you get the latest version of 3.9alpha.
Have a look at some fixes on mantis, when a fix is ok, push it to inbox
and send an email to 3.9. If you want more we will give you access to 
the squeakfoundation SqS and let you publish in SqS directly and making
the scripts. But we can do it step by step.

It would be good to know what packages exactly which team is responsible 
for. I just realized that some of them have the same name than a package
So this can be ok.

Yes but this is because we are bootstrapping.

Sometimes I would like to do something else too. :)
