Thanks for get my point.
The short answer is I WANT THE JOB
The long answer is How should be the next Squeak ?
Currently we have many different things in development and not finished DS,
MC2, SystemEditor what seems crucial to this.
Also , IMHO two different views or point of end for a "small image suited
for grow from" .
Spoon of Craig seems could be Squeak 4.0.
Kernel of Pavel seems the closest.
How we arrive to any from current 3.10 ?
Here is the difference, all people working now and doing the informal
meetings think different.
I repeat once more time I wish a short step , named 3.11 , cutting all we
know could be cut , packaged to some .mcz in a trusted repository and this
package could be loaded again into the 3.11 image as never was cut.
