Yes, we'd do that. It is a recurring theme. I have quite a bit of notes 
on paper, written over a long time. But yes, we need an online place to 
gather ideas.

The obvious option is a new github repo in the Cuis-Smalltalk org. Docs 
could be markdown format. I guess StypedTextEditor should know how to 
import / export .md. It was done a while ago, before .md was so common, 
and it includes only rtf.
