I was thinking about only doing it for Squeak.  Writing a unifying
framework
for all/most/many Smalltalk dialects would definately be a huge project.
Even different versions of Squeak aren't necesarily automatically
compatible, and I realize that, but it would be nice to have a central
repository for cool Squeak stuff that could be accessible through a
ChangeSet browser, or just a line of code (Span getPackage: 'BlueLook'
for: 'Squeak-2.8').
