IMHO having only one full distribution would be less confusing and
probably also less work. I would use the full image as a demo image, so
it should contain all the cools stuff. The fuller the better. ;-)

Now I am confused. I thought this was the Minimal image as described in
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3412.

This is a good opportunity for me to thank all of you for your effort
and dedication! I appreciate it very much!
I don't want to make any promises but I try my best to make Celeste work
in 3.9 and fix some bugs. I put 2 days into that already, so you see I
am slow. (I would definitely like it to stay in the full release, of
course. ;-)
I am amazed how much progress was made while I was away. It is really,
really great that you finally managed to get Squeak on a Monticello
managed process! I am sure collaboration will be much easier that way.
Having said this, I find it very difficult to make a useful
contribution, if all I have is 30 minutes on an evening. At least in my
experience, I always bump into new problems. And before I have even
started, time is over. Sigh.
Cheers,
Bernhard
