We accept help :)

> Hi all,
> From the Sapphire web site I read:
> Sapphire wants to take a fresh look at the Smalltalk philosophy and
> current implementations. The idea is to produce high quality
> open-source packages that will be loadable on a micro kernel.
>
> As some of you know, I was a Smalltalk fan&developer in the last
> twelve years. I have stopped working on smalltalk years ago... anyway,
> I am happy to look forward the Squeak Smalltalk Community from time to
> time.
> I have republished an article on my blog, posted by me on
> SqueakPeople, over 4 years ago:

>
> The reason of this republish is simple: I am very happy to see a
> Squeak code fork called "Sapphire" which share most of my thoughts.
> I do not love code forks, and I avoided carefully them while working
> for the Squeak Community.
> Anyway, after some discussion I have seen on the list, I think
> Sapphire  is a good idea, and it should work nicely with Squeak main
> code trunk, and vice-versa.

> I will take a look to Sapphire, and you will find my throughts in the
> next months on my blog.
> You are free to leave comment on my blog.
