Hi Hilaire

Here is my **personal** vision for the future:

Making Squeak a software platform (for web dev, education dev,  
dreaming....)

	- Small kernel (We should help Spoon)
	- Good package (may be MC2)
	- Good library (Stream, file, network)
	- Good set of tools
		- OB, Refactoring Engine, coverage browser, new code browser, shout,
		- ecompletion, new compiler,
	- Connection with the outer world (GTK, vwxWidgets)
	- removing broken stuff
	- Cleaning internal (Set, Dictionary....)

Possibly with clear OS license.

Doing that with good software engineering practices
	- Tests
	- Test Server
	- Building scripts

I will slowly work on that. Note that this is still the vision behind  
3.9.
If you are interested I can point to work to be done to arrive to  
that point.

Stef
