At the moment they are looking for a Squeak maintainer, somebody to convert what they're doing to Squeak. They may have found one already, I don't know.

portable across all smalltalk dialects. They don't develop excusively for
Pharo, they develop on Pharo. So a squeak maintainer won't need to convert
all what they are doing but only the platform specific stuffs that I think
are well packaged. Moreover, I think right now, the "port" to squeak is
straightforward and as they try to use standard stuff, there is no reason it
changes in the future ! So yes, they ask for someone to ensure it works on
squeak... as there is in gst, vw, visualage, etc ... If you're okay with
2.8.3 it's good for you but maybe other squeakers will prefer to have more
recent version, bug fixes, improvements and tests... !
