If you want to increase the chance that your fixes get attention here are some tricks.
- write tests to show that you do not break the system - do not refactor for the sake of it - use deprecation to support users of the old code - ask people for feedback and review - and yes having a better system is important (even if this is difficult and may break some existing code)

Hi,
sometimes when I dive into Squeak source code, I would like to refactor some piece of code that can be enhanced. Does someone care to have better source code in Squeak ? Where is the best place to post the enhancements ? To post new tests ? Often, it will be just one line or two, do I need to write bug reports in mantis ? Will somebody have a look at this ?
