A couple of easy ones:

1) Does smalltalkhub.com support private projects (used, e.g., for CI)? I've seen a couple of posts on random forums dating back a couple of years indicating that it did, but when I went to create a project, I didn't see an option to make it private.

2) Is Squeaksource 3 (http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss) currently maintained? It still says "public alpha" and latest comments anywhere or submissions to their tracker are old. Who is the current owner?

SqueakSource3 is hosted by GemTalk Systems and we continue to make daily backups and keep the system up and running.

The latest version of SqueakSource3 is being maintained by Tobias Pape and is currently in production at HPI.

SqueakSource3 is "frozen as an alpha", because the SS3 alpha was turned on a month or so before the plan to create SmalltalkHub was announced at which time I stopped development on SS3 expecting SS3 to eventually be turned off ... unfortunately SmalltalkHub was late going into production and I was asked to please start doing daily backups and make SS3 available until SmalltalkHub came on-line ... IIRC it took somewhere around a year for SmalltalkHub to come on-line and by that time it was "too late" to simply turn off SS3.

I have moved on to use Git and GitHub as a public source code repository and we at GemTalk Systems continue to run SS3 as a courtesy to the community

There have been periodic plans to either upgrade SS3 or replace SS3 with an up-to-date version of SqueakSource over the years, but the user community seems to be satisfied with the status quo and the system has been pretty stable over the years.

If volunteers step forward to drive an effort to upgrade/replace SS3 I would be completely supportive of the effort, but I don't have the cycles to lead such an effort.
