Hello,

First of all, thank you for all the people who spend great deal of time on fixing our server. I've been watching the IRC log (http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/squeak/) and was admiring the work!

As mentioned in the leadership discussion minutes from Craig, the plan now is as follows:

- Make Squeak version 4.0. This is based on the 3.11 effort but get rid of or rewrite code that are not relicensed and make a fully relicensed version relatively conservatively. Etoys 4.0 is now fully relicensed, and we can bring the removal and rewrite changesets from that stream.

- Craig continue to work on the Spoon based system. It is dubbed Squeak 5.0. (My personal opinion is that because it is fairly different, it could have a different name, but...)

BTW, during the Etoys' relicensing effort, I made a little web app that lets you view *all history* from Squeak V1 to the latest version:

http://tinlizzie.org:8080/seaside/examples/authorship2

I can make a similar page for 3.10 or such, and also give a tool to check the unlicened code in a particular code base.

Ken and Mathew, how does it sound?
