If the script to load works in a clean image I would put it in the project page in SmalltalkHub or similar. And a reference to the CI image in case running the script gets convoluted. Again, CI images for testing of important contributions is great, but if projects/packages can't be loaded easily into an existing image it could mean the packaging is done wrong (developer) or the right packaging can't be specified (Metacello and friends), 99% of the times it is the former.
