Yes, I know Dale ;)� But anyway, that's just a part. We still have several problems and needs:

1) We have different repositories for the same project. As the examples I did, we have omnibroswer in Lukas and wiresong. The same with other packages. So, we need someone who integrates and merges between them and we need to declare an official one. Who do this ? We need to define those integrators.

2) Metacello will load the packages, dependencies, etc. But anyway, someone need to REALLY test it. At least, a couple of days. And not only one person, several. Because someone may use the OB, other the O2, other is in Linux, other in Mac, etc etc etc. We need to define a list of beta testers.

3) We need to define official maintainers for each package we include in the official images. Suppose I am preparing the versions of Metacello. I DON'T KNOW WHICH VERSIONS SHOULD WORK. Assume that the last one is wrong. Sometimes there are "branchs" to support different Pharo images or whatever. So, I, Damein, or the person that prepare the Dev image must to ask to the maintainer about which� is the stable version. And in order to do that, we need to define those maintainers. And also which repositories, as I said in 1).


Ok...those are my thoughts

Cheers

Metacello will be used to identify stable versions of the packages that are known to work and there is an ongoing effort to create Metacello configurations for all of the projects that go into the dev and web images.

So that part of the puzzle is being addressed.
