Good point... actually it might make a lot of sense to have the
Multimedia-Full-Assembler package and Developer-Full-Assembler package
on SqueakMap, separately maintained. To get the total Full image, you
install them both. (Just need to have a maintainer for the
Developer-Full-Assembler package... glad to see you volunteer, Frank. ;-) )
My main point was that I don't think we need to have a bunch of
different prebuilt Full images up on squeak.org, a media-Full,
developer-Full, kitchensink-Full, etc. At least, kitchensink-Full
should be the single default on the squeak.org download page. I suppose
if Bruce O'Neel wants to put the other ones up on the ftp site, they
could be there too.
