The idea was to try and not reimplement these particular wheels.

We set up a server that syncs streams from all over the globe (probably
using rsync and possibly a slew of other transports) - and then we all
can just use rsync to mirror that server down onto our laptops.

Thus - the Smalltalk side of it just sees a file tree on localhost.
KISS.

Yes, and we should not underestimate emails as feedback mechanism. :)
If each Delta and/or stream has an email address associated it will be
easy to send comments back.
And some streams would then use a mailinglist address.

Exactly how we could use tests in this setup I have no specific opinion
about - but it would surely be an important part.

The whole thing is a simple idea really:

	Make it TRIVIAL to share code changes and to get them. No memberships,
permissions etc needed.

The Changesets and their tools did have a lot of nice attributes. Like
for example being able to work, work, work and then using a dual change
sorter easily pick out the work into different changesets (commits).
