I think is a good idea to have a Board and public discussions. I'm doing some promotion work on areas as MicroISV (as I commented in Smalltalks 2010), and this happens mainly in USA (joelonsoftware/ycombinator/etc) and now I'm starting writing some articles to push a bit on Linux world, were I'm from years.
Lot of tools and languages are established in Linux but I think we (the Smalltalkers) need to comment a lot more about our tools and environment and I'm trying to write some introductory articles to publish on Full Circle Magazine (http://fullcirclemagazine.org/). I already have the ok of the editor. Well, just my 2 cents.
