(If we did add everyone doing important Squeak community work as a Guide, we could quickly grow to 15 or 20 people, which would become unwieldy.)
[SNIP of other good points]

Ok, Doug summarised it good. Let's stick to 6. I will try to maintain

good if we have a list somewhere with "who is doing what" I think.
