Thanks, Andreas!
I started from 3.7, before 3.8 existed. There are two kinds of work here.
First is stuff removal and cleanup. I think it is not worth to apply
this effort (a huge one) to a different image. I believe that efforts
for true Squeak kernel image would benefit a lot if they start from Cuis.
Second is a lot of smaller goodies and refactoring. This stuff could be
useful for other images. I have the work of the last year in this image
as over 150 small change sets. (They also include stuff from Mantis and
squeak-dev). I need to make these available and document them. I'll be
doing this during the next weeks.
I hope all this is of use for the official Squeak release. Not sure how.
I guess the board needs to come with a "where is Squeak headed", so we
know how to help.
Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
