Wow, thanks! Exactly what I've been looking for.
One thing that would surely make it easier for everyone to start out would be a brief list of the most important class -- I mean the ones that help you through the steepest part of the learning curve. For example, since I've got to know the Transcript, I could do thingies in a Workspace that did output, but still had no way of reading user input. Now I do. Maybe having a list titled: "If you are new to Squeak, get acquainted to these classes:" would help.
On the name of the new list: I think "squeak-user" is not too informative. How about "squeak-wannabe-dev"?
Some wilder ideas: "squeak-good-souls" or "squeak-boot-camp". What do you think? Would either of them totally scare off newcomers?
And this goes out to you all: this is my first day on this mailing list, and you've been responsive and helpful to me all the time. You are indeed Good Souls, and one of the most friendly communities I've ever got to know. Keep it up!
