Hi Bob,

the Squeakland Foundation, who are  the protagonists for the Etoys 
system, would *love* to be back in sync with the Squeak system. I'm 
personally interested in exactly what you described in an earlier mail, 
a "useful route into introducing and teaching Smalltalk".
I don't think that we will back-porting Etoys to 3.9 or 3.10, but rather 
with the next squeak release. This is no short-term goal, but I would 
like to discuss how a reunion of Squeak and Etoys could be done.

Greetings,
Rita
