Keith, The water is warm, but you will find us determined to fix what bugs us. If you accuse us of snubbing contributions, you miss the spirit of a much needed cleaning.

No I dont want squeak, I want an environment in which contributions and concepts are appreciated, and shareable. I want this "not invented here" attitude scrapped. To be clear, I wrote SUnit-improved 3 years ago. I wasn't so arrogant as to say it is "The" SUnit. that everyone should use, I offered it as an alternativeand it has remained loadable from universes. The code may not be perfect but the concepts were perfectly reasonable: 1. Non GUI Test Runner, for use in an automated remote build system. 2. Classification of tests - for a world in which there are different forks images etc so that test suites can be a shared knowledge base of what works where. 3. A flexible test suite building interface that can be used to run other test suites like SSpec within the same tools. 4. A Cleaner Organisation under the category "Testing" e.g. "Testing-Common, Testing-Commmon-GUI, Testing-SUnit-Tests, Testing-SSpec-Tests etc. So... along comes pharo, and without any discussion at all in the general SUnit users forum, starts to "do their own thing with SUnit". Well thanks for nothing, it really makes you feel like contributing. Its not squeak that is the black hole, squeak isn't actively snubbing contributions.
