Ok, I moved the proposed 3.9 Release plan to the swiki here, after a 
few cleanups and additions:

http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5645

I just remembered part of why it's nice to have that on the regular 
swiki... it's really easy to add asterisks around things and have 
meaningful links behind them!  (Which may not seem that important to us 
experts, but it is probably really helpful to a newcomer trying to 
figure out what all this new content is.)

I will mention this page on squeak-dev shortly.

Short term, I haven't thought about contacting these smaller projects 
yet, but...

Yes, this is extremely important, and will be my #1 focus now that the 
proposed 3.9 plan is out there.

I will work on getting something together this week.  I held off on 
doing anything with the unstable stream for a little while because the 
3.8 fixes were still being posted to both the 3.8gamma and 3.9alpha 
(stable) streams.  But now it is time to switch to unstable for 
3.9alpha.  I may tweak the menu which comes up after "broadcast update" 
to make it simpler, and also add a warning if you try to post directly 
to the stable stream, because you should normally post to unstable.  
And make sure the unstable->stable DoIt is working.  Some things like 
that.  And then offer unstable-stream access to more people.
