A significant number of questions seem to be on the *technical*  
aspects of Squeak. As I have tried to explain (http://wiki.squeak.org/ 
squeak/5932) I do not see the *foundation board* as a technical forum  
but rather one dedicated to the running of the foundation. Technical  
matters more properly belong with a technical forum, something I  
think we will want to establish.

As such, I have no intention of answering technical questions in the  
context of the board elections.

In re. the matters I see as relevant to a board election:-
- I would love to increase fund-raising and we have in fact made a  
small but hopefully profitable start by ordering in stock of more of  
the well received enamel badges
- I like the general principle of bounties and sponsorships etc but I  
have some problems with how they can be organised so that they are  
seen as fair, equitable, transparent and worthwhile. And you can't go  
offering bounties without having funds to pay them!
- I (indeed all the current board) support finding a sensible legal  
basis of establishment for the foundation. It may be independent  
incorporation, it might be association with another body, it might be  
taking over a small nation and claiming sovereignty.
- I suggest establishing a technical forum to co-ordinate and push  
the technical areas of Squeak
