If we are going to strip Squeak down and rebuild it, should we consider 
picking a new name for the project? The name Squeak has been around for more 
than a decade and has strong associations (good or bad) with certain feature 
sets and intended uses. A legally clear open source base is a good time to 
invent a new platform that can consolidate the lessons learnt from the Squeak 
project and build a new system for the next generation - just as Squeak 
emerged from Smalltalk-80.

Spoon? Hydra? Athena? Phoenix? Roar :-)?
