In my opinion, it would be good if some sort of financial/ corporate support could be granted. It would allow to have people involved in "non exciting" tasks. Again: corporate support doesn't translate in any kind of servitude and it can help to grow the universe of Squeak users. Besides, good marketing is essential: if you get good media it is more likely you'll be granted more and better projects... more people will pay attention to you.
This very point has been on my mind since this whole thread started. At some point, money needs to be flowing in to guarantee the future of the environment, or else corporations will never want to adopt it.
