Dear Professor Tagliarini, my name is Giovanni Corriga and I work on the Weekly Squeak blog (http://news.squeak.org). The Weekly Squeak is a blog that provides a news service for the whole Squeak community. I've found your press release regarding your Squeak project, and have blogged about it at http://news.squeak.org/2007/05/23/squeak-in-north-carolina-schools/ . I was wondering if you were available for a small email interview to be published on the blog. Thanks in advance, Giovanni Corriga

News Team Monthly Report - April 2007
by Ron Teitelbaum 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi All, News Team Report for April 2007. Our Highest read article for April: http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/07/ah-ha/ had 1498 readers. This is an older article that found some new traction. Our second highest was http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2007/04/16/google-summer-of-code-squeakn-s tyle/ which got 1463 readers. We are getting about 200-300 hits a day. Our best day in April was 1775 readers. We were listed in the top and growing blogs on wordpress a number of times. Our readership has dropped significantly mostly because of lack of time to publish articles. We really could use some new members. If you have an interest in writing articles for weeklysqueak please contact me. Thanks, Ron Teitelbaum Squeak News Team Leader
