Make connecting to C libraries/Java libraries as plainless as possible.
Make discovery of available Smalltalk libraries less painful:
  * There's little or no differentiation on squeaksource between great,
well-tested reliable code, and "my first Smalltalk project"
  * Be great if ESUG sponsored the infrastructure for something like Apache
commons (http://commons.apache.org/) for Smalltalk projects. They have three
designations:
      1) Commons Proper - repository of reusable components
      2) Commons Sandbox - workspace for component development
      3) Repository of sandbox components that are currently inactive
  * This would aid in the discovery of projects.
  * Ideally projects in the equivalent to "commons proper" would be part of
a CI system like Lukas' Hudson setup (http://hudson.lukas-renggli.ch/)
