SqC still exists, but if I have the correct picture it is more like a
loose group of skilled people that knows each other very good and most
of them still use Squeak as their vehicle of choice. Anyway, another way
of seeing it is that SqC has "waited" for this moment - when the
community takes its first stumbling steps to actually take over the
responsibility of seeing after our little mouse. :-)

So the SqC people are still around - it's just that we can't let them do
all the hard work anymore - they simply don't have the resources (time)
as they used to. But we should of course take advantage of all their
experience in order to move forward together. And this might even turn
out to be good for us all - Dan can then for example focus on helping
out where his expertise counts the most - not just collecting updates
etc.

Well, we have plans to change it! :-) Let us get back to you on that in
the mission statement, ok?
