What was fruits which came from morphic team before you stopped developing?
And what is the current state of morphic package, does it have any maintainers?
I have to admit that morphic in its current state requires a clean up.
Maybe starting from a scratch is a good decision.
Lately in squeak-dev there was note of someone who doing clean-up ,
called minimal morphic. He's task was to remove dependencies from
Etoys in basic Morphs package code.

Maybe first, before new team can start doing something new, its better
to make an overview to think about what is done, what is started but
not finished and what is need to be done?
