Yes sure there is a lot of trash in the SqueakSource repository. Maybe
we could organize the repository in the front page the way github
(http://github.com/explore ) are doing. What is important to see are
the most active projects ;-)
A lot of functionalities could be copied from github i guess. What
could be nice also is to be able to see a MC repository as a git
repository. I dunno if it's feasible, but it could give a lot of
exposure in the open-source community to Squeak/Pharo/Smalltalk
projects than today.

Thank you for what you are doing for the community.
