Hi All,

This is the monthly report from the Morphic Stewards team.
We are in charge of the following packages: Morphic, MorphicExtras, Etoys, 
FlexibleVocabularies,
Nebraska, and StarSqueak. Our mailing list is accessible at
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/morphic

About the team
----------------

Our objectives are:
- Split Morphic into several packages that can be unloaded and loaded back 
at will. The packages are Morphic, MorphicExtras, Etoys and
some others.
- Maintenance, bug fixing, reviewing other collaborations, etc.
- Help with Morphic support for ToolBuilder.
- Clean Morphic. Remove stuff from basic classes (especially Morph).
- Handle Etoys and other packages to people with specific interest in them.

About next month
------------------

Our plans for the short term (i.e. this month) are:
- Edgar is working on Nebraska.
- I will review mode stuff from Jerome.
And in general...
- BugFixing
- Look at suggestions and code contributions regarding Morphic
- Integrate what we find to be mature enough
- Enhance support for ToolBuilder

Coda
------

We are open to suggestions and code collaborations. We are specially
interested in code that:
- Optimizes performance
- Fixes bugs
- Simplifies the framework
- Adds new, needed functionality, without adding too much complexity

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
