This may be a good time to advertise PhD and post-doc positions at
Simula Research Laboratory in Oslo Norway.  My apologies to those who
may have already seen these positions advertised via other email lists.

I must stress that this project is NOT about Squeak.  That said, I have
been using Squeak for initial prototyping, and a motivated person could
make the argument to continue using Squeak as the reference
implementation of our architecture.  I'll certainly post more to the
list when we have code to share.
