I've thinked a lot before drop my opinion, mainly because I'm not sure if a
semi-newbie as me would talk about this topic, but finally I've decided
write these lines.

I think that Diego Gomez Deck is the perfect candidate to maintain the full
image (whose that includes multimedia, etoys and so).

His vision is very closed (I think) to the original vision of SqC and has
the posibility (in his new job) of work all days in Squeak. Also Diego has
wroted a lot of enhancements and fixes and he has keep working hard in
Squeak in the last years, proving knowledge and vocation.

Regards.
