I have re-titled, and lightly edited these three pages ( mostly, gotten rid of "Core" language ):
"Factoring Squeak 3.4+ into Packages" ( http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3084 ) "3.4 Packages" ( http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3085 ) "Stewards for Packages" ( http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3088 )
The only long-term purpose for the "3.4 Packages" page is a historical record to compare too, as we factor the image going forward...
Further comments/edits/puns are welcome!

Please review the following Swiki pages: "Core Packages" ( http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3084 ) "3.4 Core Packages" ( http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3085 ) "Stewards for Core Packages" ( http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3088 )
I looked them over and wrote two comments. Well, one on "Core packages" and one somewhere else... Anyway, in short:
1. I disagree with the definition of "core package". Can be debated of course. 2. I am a bit uneasy of these pages with long lists of classes/categories. Are they really going to be kept updated? Consider me skeptic. 3. I like the "Stewards" stuff. And Squeak estate is also a nice pun with some meaning. But we may take it a bit easy on the signing up part.
I mean - we shouldn't just let "anyone" sign up as a Steward for a core package without due discussion and some form of agreement on these lists. I know we don't have a formal process or anything like that - but still. you can't just grab something and call yourself a Steward.
If there is anything we Guides should take responsibility for then it is to steer this process of dishing out Stewardships.
I think that the "Stewards for Core Packages" page is a decent beginning for a Stewards sign-up sheet.
Yes, but I took the liberty of typing in a few remarks according to what I wrote above. Ok?
