Since you bring me up, just a small note: as I made clear in my
original suggestion, I think it's crucially important that the
RestOfMorphic package be ackowledged as a main focus (I'd say, *the*
main focus) of this effort.  Calling it a "side product" gives me
pause.  If we're trying not to fragment the community, then the silent
majority of Squeak users who rely on eToys can't feel left behind. 
There's been a lot of good and necessary work already on simply
stripping down a Morphic image, but the much harder and equally
necessary part, which will require a lot of leadership,
coordination,and elbow grease, is getting the RestOfMorphic together
to file back in.

I'm pretty sure that the castaways already know this, but I think it's
an important thing to make clear and keep clear as the work proceeds.
