Maybe we should start marketing SqueakSource as Web 2.0 of source code
management.

I mean we have:
- wikis
- rss feeds
- tags
- collaboration
- user content
- run on a Mac (a real one, not a soulless MacPC) ;)
- dynamic languages
- continuations/seaside
- a vcs that beats the crap out of everything that is file based
- ...

A blog post from Avi could make a real impact.
