Hi Edgar,

I do not believe that Squeak community will run a voting on your  
suggestions. I learned that Squeak community does not function this way.  
They probably fear a) to commit themselves without having later a chance  
to bail out, b) that such a voting could be run quite frequently (2-3  
times/year) because everybody can ask for a new run and c) whatever their  
very personal reasons are: for example a possible incompatibility with one  
of their favorite package(s), which might be overruled by a voting, to  
their incovenience.

Instead Squeak community is expecting, IIANM, from you the initial  
"promoter" of your own ideas:

a - a formal release announcement (alpha, beta, gamma, rc, release),  
perhaps more or less of these steps.

b - a reasonable commitment that the maintainer fully supports her/his  
"thing" for a long time, now and in the future.

c - ease of use, (almost) no "do this, then do that, else whatsoever"  
scripts, easy "how-to", ease of integration, have fun.

This all can (but must not) be done without asking *anybody* whether they  
like your ideas or not. But being a bit trendy would not harm ;-)

Perhaps you reconsider your suggestion?

/Klaus
