first

what you have in 3.9alpha is not full nor basic. This ALPHA!
 From alpha we will try to do two things:

	- have two full distributions:
			- one for educators (and we will need people to do this one  
because I'm afraid
			that we will not have the ressources to do it ourselves).
			
			- one for developers
			this one will contains:
				Smacc
				eCompletion
				shout
				RB (the engine not the ugly UI)
				OB
				Regexp
				(if people have other needs we can have a cool FullDev)

	- have a basic one
		the goal here is to be able to have the smallest image in which
		other components can be loaded.

But again we are spending our time on that and everybody is welcome  
to HELP!

Indeed this is why we are not removing things first, but are trying  
on the back to
learn how to remove what cannot be easily removed.
