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.
