Why you may want to vote for me

Tapple Gao
Hi. I'm working on getting the old Croquet fork (now Cobalt)
integrated back into modern Squeak trunk. I think that this is a
useful project to facilitate better interaction between those
two communities. If elected, I would act as a representative for
the cobalt project for the squeak community.

I also want to bring a modular packaging system to squeak,
probably using the Metacello framework. I want to make it
complete enough to load a complex application like Cobalt, which
has about 40 Monticello packages and many support files outside
the image (meshes, textures, and configuration files). I believe
it would be useful to support assembling images from packages,
and to support external files, both for applications and for web
tools.

Hi Matthew,
i like your effort of porting Cobalt.

Mainly, because using such a large systems as Cobalt is, putting a
certain stress on a system design
and helps finding the bugs, bottlenecks, versioning, organization,
packaging, external files and other issues.
