I would not count email as contributions. I would prefer to not lose
my time to argue why we need to find a way
to support essential aspects of Squeak such as the release.
I find mean to tell us that we spent too mch energy on it and that we
should relax, when we are explaining
that if you want to do a good job you should spend too much time.
But this was easy to say so....

Exact and as I said I found a bit awkward that "releasing a new
version" should be done for fun.
