That sounds like a good idea. I think it'll be a good way for a few of us to learn the module system. So the question is, what is a good chunk of squeak that needs to be made un-loadable? You mentioned Balloon...any others?

Can anyone comment on the current state of modularity and what they think might make for a good module oriented project at SqueakEnd?
I agree that a module-related project might be a good one for the SqueakEnd, since a bunch of core Squeak folks will be there.
I wonder if it might be appropriate to try to work on converting another chunk or two of Squeak to be cleanly unloadable? (I thought I'd heard that unloading works, and that there are a couple parts of the system that are unloadable right now, something like Balloon. Is this true? I haven't poked around with trying to unload anything yet.)
