I think it is a great project:
- elimination of the image as a barrier to entry to browse code
- give Aida some solid backing in the squeak community opinion
- the artifact would be useful to anyone
I think there is a problem, though, in that this database would
have to be exposed to the image before a web interface could be
made to it. I emailed you in private about this.
