Hi Rita

Thank you for your reply.  It is good to hear that the Etoy  
protagonists would be interested in back-porting Etoys improvements to  
the main Squeak release.

However, do we know if the Squeak release builders want any  
improvements to morphic - or are they going to cut back to a  
minimorphic?

I still don't know what questions to ask about how things are managed.  
I have been looking around more - there have been some changes with  
lists recently that I didn't know about. (I notice that the lists are  
not very used as yet.) I still don't have much clue as to where to  
find things about what goes into the main Squeak release, who controls  
it, or where to look to see the current state of things. Advice would  
be welcome.

Yours

Bob

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,
