Hi Folks,

The Team model failed. We don't have enough knowledgeable people with 
available time to donate to cover all parts of Squeak.

The Board is the only way we have to make decisions. I propose giving 
the Board complete rights to make any decision. When taking important 
decisions the Board might decide to ask the Assembly to vote. The 
Assembly is made of core contributors to Squeak. Only the Board and core 
contributors have influence on the decisions. This will help to keep 
Squeak following its objectives, and will make it likely there will be 
people to actually put into practice the decisions made. We still need a 
reasonable way to identify core contributors, though.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
