The author of VisualGST and maintainer of gnu-smalltalk is in this list.

up to date smalltalk-mode is maintained in [ELPA](https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/smalltalk-mode.html), so one can just `M-x package-install smalltalk-mode` in emacs. There are lots of changes. I am the designated maintainer of smalltalk-mode. If you want to contribute, please do the following:

```
# this will grab the whole elpa
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa.git
# this will show only smalltalk-mode
git checkout externals/smalltalk-mode
# make a local branch, make your changes, test it, etc.
```  

Then you can publish your repo on github or something, send me a mail, so I can pull and push upstream. 

Or you can just send me a patch.
