[Seaside] Seaside 3.4.2 & help wanted!

[Otto Behrens]

Thanks a lot for all the effort, Johan (and everyone else involved).

We also use Pharo (6.1 currently) and deploy to GemStone.

We battle tremendously to upgrade Seaside & Magritte with the Metacello
tool set on GemStone. We abandoned an attempt in February to upgrade from
GemStone 3.4.1 to 3.4.5 because it entailed upgrading the image, which is
just a mess in our environment.

We have made (maybe) useful changes to Seaside and Magritte and would like
to contribute that, but our GS issue is discouraging us from making changes.

It appears as if we are loading Seaside 3.2.4, but I'm not even sure of
that. So, a big job to get it upgraded :-(
