I totally agree with marcus. It is CRUCIAL that people making (or 
wishing) to make money with Squeak invest also in the process. Note 
that for me I could live happy with any image I patch
and do not care to give the result back to the community. In general 
this costs me to send/harvest changes and I do not get money (nor wish 
to make money with squeak).

Sad but true. I think that this is the failure of open-source a la 
squeak even if we got some
really nice tools recently (SM, MC, Shout, RB, TestingBrowser).
