Croquet is very cool. I know Pete and I have been following it and reading about it since we started VOS. I don't know if its details have influenced our design much, but some the end goals and features are similar. A lot about it is not documented, as far as I can tell. It's all is Squeak,

And just a general impression... S5 is becoming really complex and daunting (and sophisticated, and hopefully very powerful) piece of software. But this means that we're going to need to put a *lot* of work in documenting, tutorials, as well as just polishing and refining the API itself, to
