- the speed of source.squeak.org was questioned: how to make it faster; 
whether the new server will do that; if an archive of previous releases 
should be created to lessen the load

- with squeaksource.com now deprecated the move to ss3.gemstone.com is 
looking more imminent

- The GitHub based solution for a Smalltalk repository being worked on 
was discussed. It looks like a good fit for cross platform projects. It 
may not be so convenient as to contend with ss3.gemstone.com. GitHub as 
a repository is something the board will be keen to watch evolve, 
although there was a question as to whether we might end up using a 
slightly inferior tool for a unassured marketing benefit. It may be that 
versioning tools and marketing initiatives exist in separate domains.

- Colin is preparing to re-examine the code he has for Monticello 2. 
Monticello is good for smaller projects, but reaches a limit at ~1000 
versions. Larger projects could benefit from MC2 (

- Craig spoke about Spoon at an Amsterdam even called Appsterdam (
