at times I wonder what kind of community this is. it definitely doesn't 
feel like a community to me: I have been contribution packages and 
original work for years that have mostly been unnoticed by 99% of the 
"community". and when I speak up like I do today I feel like an alien.

the sociological structure of the Squeak community is maybe a key point 
worth studying, that would help defining Squeak's goals and means. we 
have researchers, educators, individuals, businesses and a large part of 
silent people (as everywhere, but for Squeak specifically maybe it's no 
so good to be silent)

my 2 cents.
