Re: [Pharo-users] the future of squeaksource

I think it would be helpful to have those public open source licensed
projects that are not yet loaded on ss3 or smalltalk hub copied there
for posterity. Maybe make a squeaksource archive account on each
platform that does the copying.

If the file system view stays available via squeaksource.com, people can do
this lazily as needed.

And having the files available via http should be easy to just keep forever…
Disk space is cheap.
