My own are very very idle (even though I do plan to resuscitate them):

* http://www.squeaksource.com/SipStack
* http://www.squeaksource.com/ImageMap

They're now world-writable.

It's been too long since I last used SqS, and I see there are some new 
features. I'm not too sure though on the new settings. "Send emails to: 
address:" - is that an email address to which commits are sent? For 
instance, for trunk/inbox, these are set to squeak-dev?
