The website points ... How come?

Hi Karl

Thanks for the quick reply.

>And I will kick the ball back to you :-) You are
welcome to work with us.

Thank you, but no. Not my cup of tea. Also, I don't
see many others doing what is my cup.
So I think I'm needed where I am.

       
>The website points would be users of squeak to 3.9
RC1 7061 not 7067. How come? are fix it.

Good results come from good decisions.
Good decisions come from experience.
Experience comes from bad decisions.

Welcome to another fine learning experience.

It occurs to me that something that needs (NEEDS) to
happen on a periodic basis is a job (JOB).
And the board may need to fund for it and hire someone
to do it.

Things that can happen whenever they happen will get
done. They get done someone who loves to do them can
find the time. That's how we get the best into squeak.

Somethings remain more urgent and insistent. We should
get the board to think about funding news and link
maintenence.

It isn't the board that needs to fund {whatever} it's *you*. All of  
you. Until we manage to come up with a way of charging a micropayment  
per message send we-the-foundation will depend upon donations from  
you-the-users.

Hi tim

Sorry that I exit my reserve,
But donate the foundation for doing what?
I left the foundation mainly because we were not spending the money  
we got and people could not
see the use of their donations. So what jerome is mentioning makes  
sense. People could donate much more
money if they would see it serves making squeak better and its  
infrastructure. (ok for the moment the servers are paid) but
much more could be done. So the foundation could be a funnel for  
funds raising. For, for example, building tools
to help the harvesting process: a build and test server and all kind  
of other things.

Hi Tim,

funds isn't everything and not everything is funds, there also must be  
people willing to work for money. Look what happened to you
