No this is marketing. We want to have one developers image and we  
will do it.
Now you have a demo image.

I remember a post by a smart seaside guy telling us that when he  
arrived to squeak
he was really wondering what a hell is what doing with all these kids  
stuff.
and he made me thinking a lot.

I do not know this was for 3.6 (you know more than 3 years ago).

Perfect. Do it write tests, clean and have fun.

I could be improved and it will be improved.

Start small.
Write tests for example. Focus on little tasks. I don't have the luxury
to do squeak full time either, so I squeak because I do not watch TV.
