Re: the future of squeaksource

Hi,

So SqueakSource will remain like it's now until 15 July 2013. Afterward we'll replace it with a simple view exposing just the file system.

This view will only contain projects that are globally visible. I've updated the front page with this news and the migration script to smalltalk hub.

Now a question. If we replace squeak source with a view of the file system all meta information won't be accessible any more. This also includes the

license of the projects. Do you think it makes sense to extract this information and put it next to the projects? Also is there any other meta information

that would be useful to have?

Cheers,

Andrei
