Yes Sean, actually SqueakSource is not really "Share Friendly".  I wonder if
a solution is not having only one repository for all as Monticello seems to
handle branches itself.  It seems INRIA will start working on this starting
from sept. / oct.

The automatic inbox is a solution too. But it doesn't mean packages will be
integrated mainstream.

I like public writable repository.

I also wonder why SS is free for private repository, should be paying (so it
can pay someone to manage / evolve SqueakSource).
