Hi Steve,
It's really good to see you back!
The development model is described here:
http://squeakboard.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/a-new-community-development-model/
The trunk and inbox repositories are at http://source.squeak.org/.
Make an account for yourself ("Register Member") and you're good
to go.
If you work with a development image that is up to date with the trunk,
then you can save your contributions to the inbox repository. Assuming
that you are using a Squeak 4.1 image, then the key things to do are:
- Point the Monticello update stream back at the trunk:
Tools -> Preferences -> Monticello -> Update URL -> trunk
- Bring your image up to date with trunk (do this frequently):
world -> help... -> Update code from server
That's about it. Anyone keeping up with trunk development can browse
your inbox entries with a Monticello browser, and load them to try
them out. Folks with trunk access can move them into trunk.
Of course if you are working on a package that is big enough to
maintain separately, you will still want to do that on SqueakSource.
Dave
