I think it is questionable whether beginners should be using 3.9 (until it is
released).
My intention was to wait for the final release of 3.9, test Shout for a few days
using it, fix any bugs, and then release it onto SqueakMap. And to repeat that
process for 3.10 development. This works well for me, but I can understand how
beginners might get confused.

I like the Squeak-dev image because it solves these problems; everything is
pre-installed - no need to worry about where to get stuff, and which versions to
use.

I would be interested to know what release strategies others have for their
squeaksource / SqueakMap packages.

Cheers,
Andy
