Well I guess that is me too, except these days, my effort is not limited to Sundays ;-)

Hmmm... Did I miss the memo? Is "Sunday Squeaker" a new role in the
"Great
Chain of Squeakers"? something between noob and Knight of the Square Bracket?
Let me know and I will update the WackyWiki ;-)
I think it is a very old role. A Sunday Squeaker is someone who enjoys working or playing with Squeak with a nice fresh pot of good coffee at hand on a relaxing Sunday morning or afternoon.
I have always thought of myself as a Sunday Squeaker, but I guess I'm not sure if anyone ever put out the memo. After all, that would require more initiative than someone like me would ever be likely to muster on a Sunday.
Just in case it turns out to be me who accidentally introduced the term "Sunday Squeaker", I want to note for the historical record that I would have been inspired by the late great Ken Willard who for many years wrote my favorite column in the "Model Airplane News" or "Radio Control Modeler" magazine (one of those, I don't quite remember which). Ken was a committed amateur enthusiast, and he inspired me when I was a kid and probably still subliminally inspires me today.

Yes for sure, files.squeak.org seems like the obvious thing to use as an example. I also think that an ideal solution is going to require a bit of work on somebody's part, because that ServerDirectory hierarchy needs some love. Commits to the inbox would be welcome, but maybe hold off until after the 5.2 release to move changes to trunk.
This would be a great "Sunday Squeaker" project. Any takers?
