[UI] Re: UI plan, my thoughts

[Juan Vuletich]

As I said in this thread, my work there was splitting the big Morphic 
package into Morphic, Morphic Extras and Etoys. I also harvested some 
fixes from Jerome Peace.

I don't think there's someone who considers himself the maintainer of 
Morphic.

I published my reduced Morphic image where I started Morphic 3.0. The 
Morphic 3.0 image is also available.

Cheers,
