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

Press Releases
by Brad Fuller 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

We have a new folder on the www.squeak.org site: Press Room. http://www.squeak.org/PressRoom/ It has two press releases, about the Squeak booth at Smalltalk Solutions conf and one about squeak badges being available to purchase at the show. (we don't yet have a site for people to purchase on line. Tim's working on it. The second press release temporarily points to www.squeak.org to purchase badges but that is erroneous) You might consider this as a small news item. -- brad fuller www.bradfuller.com +1 (408) 799-6124

Donate Page
by Ron Teitelbaum 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hello all, I just saw www.smalltalk.org <http://www.smalltalk.org/> because they are linking to our articles. I had no idea such a site existed. The thing that caught my eye was the donate page. You have to wonder how many people donate to smalltalk.org. So should we add a donate page to weeklysqueak.wordpress.org? Ron Teitelbaum Squeak News Team Member

03 Apr '07

Hi All, News Team Report for March 2007. There is very little but stats to report. Our Highest read article for March: http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2007/03/13/minding-your-business-with-smal ltalk-part-2-of-4/ had over 1400 readers (part 1 now has over 1500). We are getting about 500 hits a day, plus we have about 400 regular readers pulling data from Feeds. Our best day in March was 1173 readers. We were listed as the top blog post of the day on wordpress once, and were included in an article about wordpress as the top blog. We are frequently listed in the top 50 wordpress posts, and usually in the top 20 of that list when we post something new. That list does bring in a lot of readers. Most of our articles are read by about 500 people. Some of our older articles still get a number of readers. We also are getting picked up by a number of other blogs: http://tinyurl.com/2vgyao it's always fun to watch who references us. 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

Fwd: http://www.cmsbox.ch/

Hi News Team, CMSbox is a Squeak3.9/Seaside2.8 powered CMS which has been made available by netstyle.ch for the Swiss marketplace (yes, there IS competition :) and it has excellent features and already an impressive list of references. Unfortunately the site has no English pages but if there are questions I'm sure that Adrian will answer them. /Klaus On Wed, 14 Mar 2007 11:59:47 +0100, Adrian Lienhard wrote: > Hi Klaus, > > CMSbox (http://www.cmsbox.ch/) is implemented with Squeak (3.9) and > Seaside (2.8). > > For the Junior Web Award, see http://www.juniorwebaward.ch/ which also > is a Seaside app (btw., all content is available also in french and > italian). > > Cheers, > Adrian > > > On Mar 14, 2007, at 11:26 , Klaus D.

New WeeklySqueak Record
by Ron Teitelbaum 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hello all, I know it is bad form to toot our own horn but I thought I'd let everyone know we have a new WeeklySqueak Record for one days traffic. We had 3535 views today. That shatters our previous record which was around 2K. Also of note we have had a number of >1K days. I guess someone is reading us!
