<ul>
<li>Some ideas about the coming 4.3 release were explored: it’s
a maintenance release</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It was suggested that as part of the 4.3 release a
communications effort, a clear message, needs to be performed
about the future goals of the Squeak image.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It is currently 16M. If you execute “Smalltalk
unloadAllKnownPackages” it will take fifteen seconds and
become 9.8M</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A reasonable target for a core image is 5M, so a drop of
4.8M from the current image (at 9.8 M) is a task before the
community</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A place to explore where to make reductions is likely the
removal/replacement of GUIs</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Once we have a smaller core image, we can enact the memo
Andreas wrote on how to load code back into the smaller image.
This will be based on tests which will clearly delineate the
responsibilities of core developers and application developers</li>
</ul>
