Miguel, when did YOU join the Squeak community?

Yes, those requirements were culled from discussions in the squeak-dev
mailing list from the last two years or so.  And yes, AFTER
understanding those requirements, I developed those publishing
guidelines in combination with some rudimentary patches to the SM
client and server code to allow those requirements to be met.

Squeak 4.2 was the first pilot for the revived SqueakMap which solves
the problem of bit-rot.  We accumulated about 20 individual software
packages that were one-click loadable in 4.2.  Now that we've gone
through an entire release cycle to demonstrate that it is working, I
wrote up the the documentation about it at the behest of Chris
Cunnington.

There is nothing sinister here.  This has nothing to do with Metacello
-- e.g., SM not a competitor with SCM tools.  This is just the Squeak
community keeping a Catalog of scripts that document configurations of
software packages and more.  That way we can have fewer "How do I load
XYZ" type of noisy discussions in the squeak-dev list.

The requirements are from the community and continue to be open for
discussion.  But I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a bit wary of your
sudden "interest" in Squeak..
