I just went to squeak.org and followed community links and I can find no
reference to Bob.  The things I want to be able to see and find easily are

1. sample images
2. list of packages loaded in the image
3. test results (name of class, number of green, yellow and red tests, and
if possible the assertion that failed or the error message for each yellow
and red test).

How do I get at this kind of info?  If I can't get at this then Bob is an
abstraction I don't understand and can't trust.  If it is manifested then it
needs to be findable easily from squeak.org.
