UI editor?

	Is there any UI editor in the works?  I look at Squeak every so often,
but I still see no way of creating user interfaces that do not require a
inordinate amount of work.  Morphic may be fine for animating bunnies, but
what about writing a user interface?

Finally catching up on some list email...

To make things a bit clearer, I just added some text this page saying:  
"If you have a strong interest in volunteering for a role (that is not 
already listed here or under Guide roles), please post to the 
Foundation Mailing List first to make your interest known."

I think that's a reasonable way to handle things.  After discussion it 
can be determined whether the proposed role makes sense, whether 
someone else is already doing it, etc.

Absolutely.  For a lot of things it doesn't make much sense to 
"reinvent the wheel", but with something like SqueakMap or a bug/bugfix 
tracking/harvesting system, the benefits for integrating closely with 
Squeak are too great too ignore.  Plus a bug tracking system is not a 
particularly difficult wheel to reinvent. :-)
