While there is no official relationship, it seems to me that the communities
are becoming very friendly and symbiotic, after the initial tension that
always accompanies a "break up" ;-) There were lively, fun, interesting
dinners including key members of both at ESUG this year. Fixes are
propagated both ways if the devs think they are valuable. Much of the API
seems to still be the same, as the major focus so far seems to be clean up.
During this process, Pharo has been much more aggressive about removing
ugly/dirty code because backward compatibility is not as primary to the
mission as it is in Squeak. Also, there are many exciting fundamental
projects underway in Pharo (new filesystem, compiler, browser, on and on),
so the forks may diverge quite a bit in the near future.

HTH,
Sean
