Hi Edgar,
I do not believe that Squeak community will run a voting on your suggestions. I learned that Squeak community does not function this way. They probably fear a) to commit themselves without having later a chance to bail out, b) that such a voting could be run quite frequently (2-3 times/year) because everybody can ask for a new run and c) whatever their very personal reasons are: for example a possible incompatibility with one of their favorite package(s), which might be overruled by a voting, to their incovenience.
Instead Squeak community is expecting, IIANM, from you the initial "promoter" of your own ideas:
a - a formal release announcement (alpha, beta, gamma, rc, release), perhaps more or less of these steps.
b - a reasonable commitment that the maintainer fully supports her/his "thing" for a long time, now and in the future.
c - ease of use, (almost) no "do this, then do that, else whatsoever" scripts, easy "how-to", ease of integration, have fun.
This all can (but must not) be done without asking *anybody* whether they like your ideas or not. But being a bit trendy would not harm ;-)
Perhaps you reconsider your suggestion?
/Klaus

And I'm happy to see that Edgar offered his support to Juan.
I support Pavel too, but seems I wish go bolder.
Repeat, I have 3.8.1 SqueakLight (23/12/05) following Juan work .
Without Flaps, Speech, Nebraska, Etoys...
So from a independent source all could know what is doable, and what each new release the unload is harder.
Also try to have small pieces what actual packages , remember "Ladrillos " idea ?
And I do experiments all time ...
How about a votation about a list of system parts what people use, love and think was Squeak becomes a ugly place without ?
Could someone arrange a list of "features " on SqueakPeople and collect result is say a week or two ?
