<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing is Justin, Squeak has already been
designed. According to an article that was linked to this list a few
of months ago, an article that covered Squeak Central leaving Disney, it
mentioned that 95% of the design made by Alan had been
accomplished.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on that, I don't see how the design of Squeak
itself can be an issue for discussion. Wouldn't those matters be for Squeak
Central to figure out? (Exception: Unless anyone was up to the job of producing
their own offshoot).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Three stages:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial

Designer ~ ideas</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One tool, three threads. Designers don't lay
bricks and Brickies don't design buildings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are those that just like playing so the
above order doesnt matter unless the play is a professional activity. In
that case more threads may be added to the list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is not productive to confuse these
different threads. It leads to insult and counter insult.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Generally speaking anyone who has ever been a
designer will understand the role of policy, philosopy, religion: in some
countries if the building faces the wrong direction nobody will live or
work in it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody who has ever been a brickie will
understand the role of initiate, inventiveness, imagination ie most of the
tools we find at the floor level have been created by workers "laying
bricks" or to stretch a metaphor, "writing code".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sandwiched in between are the Logicians who
use yet another set of tools to ensure that Designs correspond with
Objects (of design).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We don't have to like, understand,
accept, .., each other. Just respect each other.</FONT></DIV>

that is all.</FONT></DIV>
