 Just a reminder here are the instructions for publishing on SqueakMap.

  http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6181

I intend to publish new versions of all of my projects once 4.4 is
released.  If we all will do that a nice list of external loadable
packages accumulates for Squeak 4.4.  I'll help if anyone has trouble
with that.
