Well, progress on the new website (http://www2.squeak.org:7777) is slow at best. Summer seems to be a hard time to get much work done. Many on the team have been busy with work schedules as well as vacation (I start mine in about 14 hours).
Some updates have occurred though:
- new screenshots have been added, and some are on the block waiting to be added - a features list has been added & updated - download links have been updated - Goran is working on text for the main page - there have been some efforts to copy information from the old site to the new - all text changes are now being saved to an external file - a VNC connection was added to the server to enable remote debugging and development
In addition, Karl Ramberg did some investigation into the versions of SmallWiki and Squeak that we are using. At this point our Squeak image is considered unstable (intermittent lock-ups, snapshot failures, etc.). Also, the version of SmallWiki we are using does not support adding image resources to the website. We are currently looking into options to rectify these errors (eg. a patched SmallWiki from the Seaside folks, running the site in VisualWorks instead of Squeak, abandoning SmallWiki etc.).
Hopefully we will have more (and better) news next month.
Thanks for the report and the work, you all. Sounds like good steps forward.
