Why?
- In the part of the corporate world that I live in, CORBA is very popular.
  CORBA support in Squeak would give me another choice besides C++ and Java
  that doesn't require a whosale migration for all the components of the
  system.
- In other parts of the corporate world, COM is important for similar
reasons.

  I agree with Yanni, if you aren't pursuing a general solution, easier
  alternatives exist.  I am currently living with one of those and wishing
  I had picked the general solution.

Why is this an important goal?
- For my own purely selfish reasons - because I would rather work in Squeak
  than those other languages.  I'm committed to another project at the
moment.
  Otherwise, I would be volunteering to help.

I believe that STP mentioned that Jeff Eastman was willing to assist with
moving
his ORB to Squeak.
