One thing we could do is to use a plain old menu bar. This has the 
advantage that people who try Squeak on their own get more guidance 
about "where to click next" (the world menu is surprisingly hard to 
discover if you don't know about it). We currently have 
TheMainWorldDockingBar as a starting point (a bit too colorful but I'm 
sure we can fix that) and then we could restructure that menu bar along 
the lines of:

Squeak            Tools         Projects
   About Squeak      Browser       New Project
   Update Squeak     Workspace     Save Project
   Save Image        TestRunner    Load Project
   Save Image As     FileList      Previous Project
   Quit              ...           Jump To Project >

etc. Not only would this provide newcomers with a bit more familiar 
structure in the environment but it would also allow us to repurpose the 
  world menu as the menu with the 10 things that we use most. For me, 
that would be a mixture of tools and projects, and perhaps that menu 
should then be completely customizable (i.e., like the "do..." menu).

How about that?
