GET OFF YOUR BUTTS
I offer my spare time (which is not much right now, but might be a lot soon (I'm in Argentina)). I can help with the harvesting. I can also compile VMs and plugins for Linux, BSD (Open, Free, Net), and Solaris (in SPARC and x86) and help with porting efforts.
There's a number of projects that I'd like to see done, so I'm willing to help with them if there's any interest (from SqC and SqF) in having them done:
o. Replacing the current Streams with Craig's o. Including Flow (especially NetStream and the ExternalResource hierarchy)
and getting rid of Socket and SerialPort o. Modularizing the image and producing a minimal image with no UI o. Simplifying the parse tree nodes (factoring the bytecode generation code out of them, for instance)
o. Including Tim's new CompiledMethods
o. And other stuff I can't remember now
Cheers, Luciano.-

Me to. Good to port all existing network apps, too (which isn't nearly as it sounds). I'd help with that.
I'd even work on completely updating the Squeak networking chapter to fully document it (and cutting out the older stuff), so there'd be comprehensive documentation from the get go.

Or moving to the RB parser, whatever. I'm *very* into that and would happily work on a gelled, official, we really mean it, version of that. Specifically, I'll happily do the work to get all the prettyprinting browse modes working with the new stuff (and to clean it up a bit). (Moving to StreamWrappers would be nice, too.)
These seem like tangible, feasible projects to test organization an procedures. Even better if they demoed modules (since they're both core, but not *only* core, bits of functionailty).
It reminds me of the Squeak Projects page on the Swiki. A lot of good came out of it, but somethings withered and enthusism sorta died. Perhaps something like that again? As a start?
(cough, blockclosures, cough :))

Hi
I would like to organize the projects on which people are ready to work. We could then build some groups and people could code and tests with. I was thinking for example that a CVS client integrated into Squeak would be great to support the process (Goran ;))
I created a page to list the projects you would like to put energy and to describe the project. http://swiki.squeakfoundation.org/squeakfoundation/50
