I think that having problems in software is a common reality, unfortunately.
May be Squeaksource and it's servers (I don't know) are having a lot in these days, but the point I would mention is that is needed to think in "availability" more than in have 0 problems.
The problem of the instability of SS is that using files as a back end when you put hundred thousands of files in on folder does not scale. Guess how many files are in the seaside repository :) and the pharo? Stef
The problems will exist, sooner or later, with SmalltalkHub or Squeaksource3, the challenge is, in my point of view, to have availability (some ways of reaction) in front of different failures.
no we hope not.
May be Squeaksource3 (based in Gemstone) is already covering this topic, and surely also SmalltalkHub could do it, but this is the key in my opinion, not have a single point of failure.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi Stef!
2011/8/26 Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> In Squeak alexander lazaverich did a SystemReporter. I wanted to have a look but got distracted. It would be good to use it.
Sure thing that I was just about to mention that it is on SqueakSource, when there is no SqueakSource. :-/
Boy, this is annoying.
To me it seems that the SqueakSource repo on source.squeak.org received some more love in the past so that it seems to be more stable and responsive. Just for practical reasons (a source repo that's not available over long periods of time just suxx) I'm considering moving my few bits to source.squeak.org until there is a reliable alternative.
Wouldn't it make also good sense to move some vital stuff like the vmmaker repo to this destination? I know this will be controversial, but the current situation is bad at best.
I think the broken SqueakSource is hurting us more than we know!
yes But beside magic I cannot do much. We discussed with nicolas petton and he is working hard to make sure that SmalltalkHub will not have such problem.
