Thank you Edgar for your explanations.

In my understanding there is work going on in three different 'product
lines', so to say


1) The regular trunk image as is (for a bit less than a year I think)

2) A minimal image (Pavel, Andreas, Juan, you with SqueakLight)

3) FunSqueak - (loaded on top of 1). It acts as a showcase for
projects, people can have a look at things without going through the
pain of hunting for packages, load scripts etc.)


I understand that for 3) you use different methods, not only
Monticello, but as well SAR files (Squeak Archive), Change Sets (cs)
and direct manipulation within the image.
