I don't want to stifle any effort (*any* effort is good IMHO) but I 
think that the upcoming SmalltalkHub (that Nicolas is working on, and 
possibly with a bit of help from me if I ever get free time to spend) 
will offer a compelling new platform for all of SS and SM etc.

It would give all our communities (Squeak, Pharo and others) a chance to 
converge in a single much more powerful and fresh platform.
