Hi Thank you Ben!! And no worries, I in no way consider the pharo community to be unwelcoming; the lack of response just made me think that i sent the message to the wrong mailing list or something, so i fired off another email just to be safe :)
And re incrementally integrating the work: thanks, that's a great idea -- i think that's what we are actually going to do!
