Hi guys

We started slowly but we started. We need external reviewers for our 
changes.
I would like to see them included in 3.6 because there are really 
simple until now.

Currently we are focusing now on having the smallest core for Class, 
Behaviour, ClassDescription, and Metaclasses.

The first design changes introduced is the introduction of a class named
SystemNavigation that should contain all the navigation code 
(browseAll...). Note that all the browse methods defined in the class 
SystemDictionary should be move into this class too to avoid duplicated 
code and logic.


  Next Major Tasks:
	- Look and clean the classBuilder
  	- Look and clean the systemOrganization
  	- Remove fileoutasHTML from the kernel
  	- Move fileout functionality out of the kernel in another layer
  	- Coherent and simple funnel for changes notification and access to 
changes
  	- Coherent and simple funnel for access to the compiler from the 
classes (fixes classParser and classScanner as role always complained 
about them been wrong)
