I was thinking of more then just namespaces.  I was thinking I would throw 
the question out there, and if enough people said they would donate then we 
could make a list of what are the biggest priorities that squeak needs and 
none of us are going to do in the foreseeable future.

Did you look at the Gemstone stuff that I reposted?  It sounds like that 
system is close to your goals and it adds no new syntax (no dot syntax, no 
colons, just normal message sends afaik).  And I think the security of it is 
nice as well since it looks at the user compiling the code and then makes 
the link at compile time.  If you file out your changes and someone else 
files them in, it looks like that stuff would get rebuilt so the only 
security problem would be if you ship the byte codes directly, but I guess 
they probably have some solution for that.
