Hey, nice talk. Now, what are your own great dreams with Squeak? What
are you doing to pursue them?
I can tell you about mine. Or you can read in this list and my web page
about Cuis and Morphic 3. I can tell about Bert, Yoshiki and VPRI
(Etoys, OLPC, FONC). I can tell about Andreas (Balloon 3D, Tweak,
Croquet, Teleplace). I can tell about Gulik (the Unnamed Grand Project).
Same for many others here. What about you?
This community can only achieve what its members actually do. For
instance, the last 2 years I gave up about 1/3 of the money I was making
just to have time to work on Cuis, Morphic 3 and to contribute to
Squeak. You can see some of the results of that in the trunk. What about
you?
And no, thanks. We don't need yet another non-contributing visionary.
Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
