Let's make sure we never leave users with this experience. How do we create
a seamless loading experience for people that have not been keenly following
the Metacello & Pharo lists for the last year? If I downloaded Pharo today,
where's the central access point I would go to load something? Things seem
scattered - Metacello configurations can all be found in
MetacelloRepository... unless they are with their projects... or both, with
one or the other out of date. Loading scripts are often posted to the list,
but do they ever get captured into a configuration?

It's embarrassing, but I didn't even know about Metacello's Toolboox API
unless I read the beta chapter from PBE2 yesterday - I thought configs all
had to be coded by hand! - so I never quite "had the time".

What can we create to tighten up this process and empower (especially new)
users?
