Hey everyone,

I just described our suggestion to approach a new bootstrapping process on Metacello's Github: https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/issues/524

We would appreciate it, if you could have a read through and see if you can identify potential problems or better ways to approach this, in particular also for the "Further Steps" part.

Best,
Tom

Thanks all


Are there steps I should be taking to help facilitate this?



Thx

In that case, we can put them on files.squeak.org, too …
