Hi Tansel:

I'm particularly interested in the use of Squeak as a development tool
for commercial applications, as I've said several times. Think that
this goal need some attention of the Board.

By other hand, I don't think that using Squeak in this way
(commercial) could avoid anything of the
academic/educational/frontiers mover traditional focus of Squeak.
Rather than, having more Squeak commercial niches, may help in get
interest in companies, and by consequence some money/work to more
squeakers and, may be, the foundation.

Just my two cents.
