Hi,
I'm willing as the editor of Smalltalk.org to post ANY positive articles regarding Smalltalk. Please submit what you want published. Please submit what you want Smalltalk.org to become. I will listen intently and consider all ideas that promote Smalltalk and inventing the future, including inventing the future of information technology.
If we don't speak out the typeless-luddites will generate their future unhindered. ;--)
What future do you see for Smalltalk and Smalltalk-like dynamic systems?
All the best,
Peter William Lount peter@smalltalk.org

As of this moment, my primer/tutorial on Smalltalk ("Smalltalk: Getting the Message") is on del.icio.us' Hotlist--which means its on the front page of http://del.icio.us/ (5th article from the top.) [ref: http://www.chronos-st.org/Smalltalk-Getting-the-Message.html]. That means it's getting substantial exposure. This may be a sign that interest in Smalltalk is rising. If so, we need to do whatever we can to nurture it. Such chances don't come often, and seldom more than once.
"Squeak by Example" is yet another opportunity to get significant attention focused on Smalltalk. I hope "Squeak by Example" gets Slashdotted.
Adding both "Squeak by Example" and "Smalltalk: Getting the Message" to your del.icio.us bookmarks, and voting for them on dzone.com, reddit.com and digg.com would help increase the "buzz" for Smalltalk. And that would be a good thing.
