Agreed.  We could allow a couple more days of testing but if no 
show-stopping bugs appear we should release the existing gamma2 images 
as 3.7 final.

Edgar's comments would be relevant for 3.8, though.  Yeah, there's a 
lot of good stuff that could be done with the intro projects.

For what it's worth, I gave the g2Full image a quick test by opening 
all of the packages registered in the "open..." menu, and fiddling with 
them.  Everything seems to be working.  The only obvious problem I 
noticed was that the default page for Scamper ("browser:about") doesn't 
seem to work.  Perhaps the default page should be changed to squeak.org 
or the swiki.  (And I guess this means changing the package... the 
guides/harvesters should really have automatic co-maintainer access 
somehow to any SM packages registered as "Full".  Maybe this should be 
a to-do for 3.8.)

Also, I don't know offhand how to set up Celeste to test it.  Has 
anyone verified that Celeste works as included in the g2Full image?
