Repost of what Chris Muller posted today to make it more visible:
(includes links to the relevant wiki pages, SqueakMap delivers a
one-click installation experience! Questions are welcome )

Just a gentle reminder, the best way to talk about SqueakMap and
figure out how to improve it is to orient ourselves with the
requirements:

    http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6183

Publishers who simply follow these publishing guidelines [1] are able
to meet these requirements, and so what users see in the list is what
WORKS.


Thankfully, we DON'T have a blank list in 5.0.  Thanks to those in the
community who have gotten on board with the publishing guidelines we
have packages on SM that actually WORK (if they were done right) and
have single one of those requirements met.  Users are able to consume
those packages with one click instead of being forced to come begging
to the list for "how to load it"..

We will get there!
