Since there is a major push in both Squeak and Pharo to be clear about what's loading where, and get more and more projects loadable; and the community is fixing projects that we don't own...
I propose: 1. Everyone make your SqS repos globally writable unless you have a reason not to. 2. SqS admins, send an email to all the repo admins requesting this. Motivation: I've been fixing many projects as I try to load them, as a service to the community, but I am not necessarily taking on being responsible for their long-term maintenance. Right now, the process seems to be: 1. Upload fixes to my own repo 2. Email the project admin (if they are even still findable) 3. Post to the mailing lists with the new link 4. Wait for a response Not only is this more complicated than it has to be, but creates confusion. For example, I fixed ExternalWebBrowser to work in Pharo, but couldn't upload it to the project repo. Now I fixed the ConfigurationOf. Where do I put it? If I put it in the usual places, it will now point to my personal repository. It doesn't seem right to hijack someone else's project this way. And it's confusing for users - why are there two ExternalWebBrowsers and ConfigurationOfs on squeaksource? Thanks.
