<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, and that’s exactly what I would have appreciated to know when I started contributing:) I didn’t know about a Trunk because, of course, I hadn’t read all the more or less available pieces of documentation etc. The release version is
fine if you plan to build something, I guess; but for learning (self-learning in my case) I’d say the Trunk is better… especially if you follow Squeak-dev or Slack discussions where the Trunk version is usually referenced (without saying so).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">My original thought in starting this thread was simply that a new<br>
user starting with a release image may not be aware that they can<br>
easily follow the trunk, and they might not know that they can open<br>
a preference browser to do so. If you are in a classroom setting<br>
then someone will explain it to you, but if nobody is around to<br>
tell you about it, then how would you know?<br>
<br>
Yes I know that having newbies updating from the trunk is likely<br>
to result in "why is my package dirty" questions, but that's OK<br>
and maybe it will motivate us to find better ways to keep the<br>
update stream clean.<br>
