Well, "project" has a broader meaning than that given it by
programmers. How about "squeak-software"?

While Squeak may be a Smalltalk now, I don't particularly think we
ought to suggest that it will _always_ be a Smalltalk. It was, after
all, intended to be a vehicle to bring _other_ things int existence.
It's just that Smalltalk, like Lisp, is particularly good at eating
its own children.
