Well after a long delay we pushed to get 3.10 out the door in a form
that would be acceptable to the community.  But already issues are
turning up.  Oh well we would not be the first project to issue a
quick .1  'oops' release.

Keith Hodges pointed out a couple of issues on IRC and I created reports
for them in the ToDo category on Mantis in the Squeak project.  In the
Product Version field of each I have chosen 3.10 and either in the
summary or description or both I reference a hypothetical 3.10.1.  The
current issues are

http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7035
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7036

You will notice in 7035 that I explicitly request a 3.10.1 by May 26th.
I also volunteer to take care of making this happen if you find you
can't do it for some reason.  I would appreciate hearing the release
teams opinion on such a plan by Monday are Tuesday if at all possible
(12th and 13th).

I chose a date two weeks from Monday to also give us time to collect
reports on other annoying but easy to fix issues in 3.10.  As I
understand there has also been a request for a fuller Welcome with
examples of 'cool code'.  I've not been following that discussion in
detail and so if someone is more familiar with it, please create a ToDo
report similar to what I have done above.

There have also been calls to release a FunSqueak and relabeling it as
Full Squeak.  There is no reason of course that it needs to be released
on a rush schedule and I suggest basing it on a 'fixed' 3.10.1 rather
than the slightly flawed 3.10.
