Basic should be close to ST-80 with Morphic instead of
MVC (well, not sure about this since some people will
want to run Squeak on PDAs) and minimal stuff to
develop (e.g. the usual change set browsers, Squeak
Map, etc).

No multimedia, no goodies, just plain Smalltalk close
to what ObjectWorks 4.0 looked like...

My 2 cents.
