Here's an interesting question for the list members: what would it take for you to "buy in" to a central governance model for Squeak? What would it have to look like, who would have to be in it, what would it have to be doing?
Here's another question: why would you want a central governance model for Squeak?
As I've been advocating for years, I'd *like* Squeak to fragment. A children's Squeak, a 3D platform Squeak, a web developer's Squeak, a Win32 app developer's Squeak, etcetera.
So, all I can see SqF doing is to make sure that people don't duplicate too much work, by defining some minimal core, and maybe a clearing house for patches or something like that. But certainly not some sort of central governance model - let the bits of community organize themselves, it seems to work just fine...
