While there is no official relationship, it seems to me that the communities are becoming very friendly and symbiotic, after the initial tension that always accompanies a "break up" ;-) There were lively, fun, interesting dinners including key members of both at ESUG this year. Fixes are propagated both ways if the devs think they are valuable. Much of the API seems to still be the same, as the major focus so far seems to be clean up. During this process, Pharo has been much more aggressive about removing ugly/dirty code because backward compatibility is not as primary to the mission as it is in Squeak. Also, there are many exciting fundamental projects underway in Pharo (new filesystem, compiler, browser, on and on), so the forks may diverge quite a bit in the near future.
There are also a number of folks spending time in both communities: I wouldn't be surprised to see many of those exciting new projects being ported to Squeak. frank
HTH, Sean
