David,
I am a Tech Coordinator at a K-5 elementary school and we've begun using a Swiki to publish Squeak projects. I run a Swiki on our Xserv but originally served it on a DV iMac running OS9. Students upload and then reference their files on the Swiki. Its a great way for students to collaborate and see what others are working on.
You can download the Swiki files here http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki/15 and learn all about the Swiki here http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki

Hi all -
I'm the technology teacher at a small (ca 350 kids) K-8 elementary school in Chicago, and am just starting to excitedly experiment with Squeak with a couple of classes that I teach.
We've got a lab of 18 iMacs (running OS9), all connected to a central Apple G4 that we use as a server. All of our kids have individual password protected access to a folder of their own on the server. In addition, we're running a protection program (FoolProof) to keep kids from messing around with the hard drive, etc.
My question: Is there an easy way to have kids publish their projects to our server? Right now, they're just publishing them to the "My Squeak" folder on their individual machines, but I can see this becoming problematic quite soon. I've come into teaching computers through the back door (having taught art and been a classroom teacher, worked in museums, done a bit of graphic design, etc.), so I am an utter Newbie (note the capital 'N') with most things technical.
thanks for your help!
David Wells

Greetings,
I'd volunteer use of my hosting space for a squeak forum so long as the bandwidth usage doesn't get too high. I don't have any particular expertise in Squeak but, I'd be happy to contribute a place for those who do to answer questions on the subject.
I've setup a sample phpBB board on my website. http://rudyscott.com/squeak/ If people are interested in using this space, I'm happy to provide it (no warranties :-).
If squeakland sets up an official phpBB forum I'd be happy to export the db contents over to the new location.
