Use a cron task... Sake has Sake-Scheduler, but with cron you dont even
have to run an image.

You really dont get it do you...

If I publish a bit of knowledge, lets say I fix the changes/source
issue. Bob's job is to build that improvement into every fork so you
test and contribute your improvement as widely as possible.

If you dont capture the knowledge in a form that other people can use
(and bob pretends to be all the other people) then you are just
satisfying yourself otherwise known as ________.

I do not see any need for another fork of squeak, even if it is called
squeak.
