I remember reading something like that on documentation, couldn't find
it now. You can even find most of the "View"s of the IDE in "View
Composer/IDE Tools" and use them in your projects.

Of course it won't be like having a full open source project, but this
shared repository feature excites me very much. It will definitely be
a big improvement and help keeping Dolphin more active than ever.

Maybe the announced features didn't excite you much but I think you
are being a little bit too pessimistic. If Dolphin 7 is going to
happen then we can say that Dolphin will be alive for at least 4-5
years more and, as a Smalltalker, this news makes me very happy! Andy
might have choosen to stop the development of this beautiful
development environment and went to another direction (much more
profitable for him) which would be a bad thing, directly or
indirectly, for everyone around here.
