Ok, here goes.  From the article I just posted to Squeak People :

"I'd like to announce Unstable Squeak: an experimental fast-moving, 
community-based developer-oriented distribution of Squeak. Unstable 
Squeak leverages Squeak Source, Squeak People, and Monticello to try to 
present an alternative model for incoporating fixes and enhancements 
from the community with a minimum of process.

  Unstable Squeak is an experiment in two parts. As a social experiment, 
it's an attempt to use trust networks and community dynamics, rather 
than a lengthy review process, to ensure the quality of contributions. 
The Unstable Squeak repository is open for anyone to commit changes to, 
and any of a large group of developers (those with Journeyer status or 
above on Squeak People) may "bless" these changes to be immediately 
included in the Unstable Squeak distribution. As a technical 
experiment, it's an attempt to build the infrastructure required to 
support this more ad-hoc approach to development, using the Monticello 
versioning system as a base. Hopefully, the technology built for 
Unstable Squeak will eventually be refined to the point where it can be 
adopted by mainstream Squeak as well."

Read the rest of the article here, and let me know your thoughts (or 
better yet, just participate in the experiment):
