My point is that 9 out of ten of the "smartest and
most efficient Squeakers". choose to develop and
express their vision, focus, with execution using
update streams.
Process has a direct relationship to results.
Anyone can update and save a current OPLC system in a
handful of minutes.
What I am focusing on is the need for the tightest
possible feedback-update-distribution-feedback cycle.
With an emphasis on wide distribution to gather a lot
of feedback each cycle. It is VERY lacking with the MC
process for developing the Whole image.
Yours in service, --Jerome Peace

specific project?
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of utilizing
their results. I want the smartest and most efficient
programmers on my side. The goal is to get a vibrant
living system into the hands of those who can grow it
and grow with it.
I am perfectly happy with what ever self organizing
way develops to bring that about.
Respectfully yours, -- Jerome Peace
