a pair of suggestions

> really fun. Downloading the package from the SMPL (and I suppose this
> problem is the same in Squeaksource) and finding it doesn't work is a
> big let down. Seaside comes with a WAVNCController app ready to
> register as an application, too. To make Ian P.'s RFB work online, I
> found  a forum with some code, copied it into a file, and used it as a
> patch. It seems to me that this is the kind of thing a maintainer
> is/ought to be doing. I take it that the RFB package worked in 2006
> and then broke with new Squeaks, and that's why I needed this hard to
> find piece of code. (Which I haven't bothered to try and understand,
> by the way). If nobody is maintaining RFB, I'm willing to be the
> maintainer. If you need a maintainer that understands RFB top to
> bottom, then I'm not qualified, nor will I bone up on the topic just
> for the job. But if being a maintainer means that people point the
> news to me and I do what's necessary to see that the latest, working
> version is available, then I'd like to help.
