Hi,
With the 3.2 version on the road we can publish in slashdot, freshmet, etc and take the world for us! :-P
Absolutely. What smalltalk needs the most is press coverage. A good scandal would be nice, sex and crime, security alerts, hot fixes, a new smalltalk virus, managers facing court. Nobody wants to listen to the "smalltalk is better" mantra, as true as it is.
I believe for slashdot you need an original article to point to. I made two submissions about smalltalk so far but they posted neither of them.

In a recent discussion with Jon Erikson of Byte Magazine I was assured that special coverage is planned to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Smalltalk's introduction. Jon made it clear he recognizes Smalltalk and its principals -- he pointed out the recent Dr. Dobb's award to Dan Ingalls and Adele Goldberg -- and the special relationship Byte has to Smalltalk. I encouraged him to renew that relationship vis-a-vis Squeak and pointed out some of Squeak's recent commercial and educational successes.
Letters to the Editor (write to mailto:letters2editor@byte.com) regarding Smalltalk, and especially Squeak, would certainly help Byte's staff (and eventually Byte's readers) to grasp the vitality which has remained in Smalltalk's bloodline from its birth at PARC through the latest release of Squeak. Anyone here who has put Squeak to work in any notable way might want to write Byte and let them know. Note that online publishing still has deadlines; the sooner these letters and potential articles reach Byte, the more likely they are to be included.
Once the commemorative issue is released, of course, Slashdot, Freshmeat, etc. may be interested.
