I respectfully disagree. AFAICT, the I/O group is dormant, and the main list has made its feelings clear.
However, there might be an argument for those interested to take this to the I/O list. Any takers?

I did not take a look, but I am positive the UI list is the wrong place to discuss this.

I subscribed to the io list
the IO list may be appropriate, but the Flow list is probably better. Note that there are currently two alternative stream libraries in squeak (alternative meaning not in squeak.org)
1. Flow, which requires a plugin and supports many kinds of external streams, like USB streams and MIDI streams, in addition to collection streams and file streams. It is a major component of Spoon, and is not compatable with squeak's default stream library. See http://netjam.org/flow and http://netjam.org/spoon 2. Nile is a refactoring of the squeak stream library. It provides It does collection streams and file streams in two API's. The new API is much simpler than the squeak library, and is incompatable with it. The old API is compatable with squeak stream library. Nile uses traits to share code between the two API's. It does not provide any capabilities beyond the squeak libraries, as far as I can tell. See http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2007-November/122481....

Moreover, Nile is maintained by someone who gives the code to the community and let it play with it and commit directly to the main repository. Nile has a lot of unit tests too. If you want to play with it, feel free. You can ask me any question.
