Cool!

And of course Etoys is not dead at all, but it could use a little love.
I think that many people on this list are looking for ways to contribute
to Squeak, and working on updating Squeak for better Etoys support would
certainly be one of them. Remember, for every developer working with
Squeak or Pharo there might be another million kids using Etoys who would
appreciate your help.

If we can make progress getting Etoys to work without problems on Squeak
trunk, and of course to make it a fully unloadable/reloadable package,
then millions of kids (and quite a few big kids too) can take advantage
of the latest improvements in Squeak as well as the speed improvements
of the high-performance Cog VM. That should make Etoys much faster and
better for everyone.
