4) Build a continuous integration server using Seaside, Iliad or AidaWeb. �Build an interface to version control systems (possibly supporting both independent systems such as Monticello or file-based such as svn/CVS/git) that can be used from Smalltalk and integrate it with Smalllint code reports. �For a more ambitious project, the server should be able to start a new image, upgrade the package, run SUnit tests there and communicate back the results---the time to upgrade the package should be minimized of course!

Are you aware of this two projects ? I don't know other dialects but in Pharo they work:

- http://n4.nabble.com/Interim-build-server-td1296834.html#a1296834
- http://n4.nabble.com/ANN-Hudson-continuous-integration-server-support-td1296910.html#a1296910


5) Work on a cross-dialect foreign function call interface and implement it in at least two dialects. �Candidates include Alien and GNU Smalltalk's CObject (using existing implementation has the advantage of having to implement in only _one_ other dialect!). �Bonus points for implementing a C parser that would be able to construct bindings. �GNU Smalltalk already contains a C preprocessor implementation.


Yes!!! And make it (optionally at least) not to block the complete VM while a function is being called.
