Software Composition Group guys, does one of you want to be the maintainer?
The SCG group in Bern proposes to the community to be maintainer of this set of classes. As direct responsible, I propose myself (Alexandre Bergel).
Just one little nice thing (I think all this sounds great, I will hold all my thoughts on how these "stewardships" can/should work for a while):
We'll see how it all works out :-)
I think we should register this as a package on SM. Most of you probably say "What?!" but the ideas is simple - a package on SM doesn't need to have something downloadable - it actually just needs a homepage! And since it is a piece of Squeak that you are indeed maintaining - it *is* a package - just not yet a downloadable one.
So my proposal is that Alexandre registers a package for this (with a suitable name, like "Squeak kernel" or something), puts himself as the maintainer, throws in a short description of what this means and perhaps a list of classes that form the package, adds the suitable homepage etc.
Yes, good idea. It should be visible what is going on to everybody. And Squeakmap is the real visible thing.
Then, just to make things more interesting - I should probably add a Category (or a few) for classifying packages as "Squeak core", as this one should be.
I see that the "Package grouping" thread has also taken off, haven't read that yet.
Anyway, what do you say? And a package can always be removed.
