I don't feel stiffed, Göran. My grown as a programmer is emerging from a base of code you wrote. I don't know if SM has a future as a solution for the community, but it certainly has future as the place where I improve as a programmer.
Since you feel certain that SmalltalkHub with your assistance will be a benefit to Squeak, Pharo, and others, perhaps you might be bold enough to commit yourself to some kind of deadline. When? Real artists ship.

I agree - real artists ship. But I can't make any personal promise/commitment to any non paid work right now :). Family and all - the little time that is left I try to spend elsewhere.
The main implementor of Sthub is Nicolas, and he is progressing aggressively. And he has a first deadline in the "near future", but I don't want to talk on his behalf. I think he really wants to "deliver first" and talk later :)
BUT... my personal impression is that the project looks very good (it already has lots of stuff working), has a really powerful architecture and *should* IMHO be embraced and extended/integrated in every way we can think of - to finally tie together the SS/SM and all other efforts in this area into something sustainable and cross Smalltalk.
Just my vision :)
Just to "tease" some more - the other day Nicolas got the MC repo functionality (you know, list files, put and get) going on top of Seaside-REST/Phriak/Riak. And then he hammered it with apache-bench and let's say he is very pleased with the results. :)
regards, Göran
