So, then basically the Squeak Foundation purpose is about promoting Squeak and supporting processes the develop it for maximum value for various user communities?
[Trying to steer discussion back to the purpose] Yes. Re-reading Dwight's proposal, it has a lot of means and isn't too clear about the purpose. Yours:
"To assist the evolution of a individual and group empowering transparent open-source ubiquitous computing platform starting from the initial Squeak code base"
comes closer to a purpose but I have problems reading it - everything between "individual" and "computing" is one big adjective to "platform", and that strings consist of a number of words heavily contaminated by marketing guys. But I like the one-sentence formulation. Am I the only one having problems with the words "empowering", "transparent", "ubiquitous" appearing in one sentence? Is there an alternative that's as open-ended?
