Ok, that's fixable. I've made it possible to anyone to commit to
http://www.squeaksource.com/OmniBrowser. I'll treat that like an INBOX
repository for OB. The trunk is still at http://source.wiresong.ca/ob/
which isn't public writable (that proved problematic), but I'll be
happy to give commit rights there to anyone who wants to contribute.

Great, thank you.

Ok, sounds like a plan.

I'll go through bugs.squeak.org and assess what's still relevant. If
folks have issues that aren't recorded there, feel free to bring them
up here, or enter them directly into Mantis.

As for Lukas' work, I don't think we're very far behind. He hasn't
done a whole lot lately, and a lot of it is focussed on compatibility
with Pharo 1.2. I'll see what should be incorporated.
