Suggestion+for+Squeak+Website
by SPINIELLI Enrico 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hi, I have a suggestion about how the page is organized. It seems to me that the "Download" box (div, id="downloadbox") in association with the menu box (div, id="menu") squeeze too much the contents box (dvi, id="contents") and that there is a lot of wasted page space. So why not positioning the download box, below the menu box? I do think the menu will be never much longer that it is now (< 15 items)... Another interesting possibility is a menu link in [1]. Hope it helps Bye Enrico [1] <http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/> --- Enrico Spinielli Eurocontrol/CFMU enrico.spinielli at eurocontrol.int office 21.111 tel:+32-2-7299716 Rue de la Fusée, 96 fax:+32-2-7299022 B-1130 Bruxelles Belgium ____ This message and any files transmitted with it are legally privileged and intended for the sole use of the individual(s) or entity to whom they are addressed.

I believe this responsibility belongs to the Web Team now, is that correct? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peace Jerome <peace_the_dreamer(a)yahoo.com> Date: Nov 10, 2005 12:39 AM Subject: Re: [ANN]: 3.9a 6704 update ready...

The last one available on the ftp site it 6696. For various reasons the update stream is not a viable option for me.

Multimedia - needs approval
by Brad Fuller 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

I updated the MultiMedia page: added a intro sentence; cleaned up sentences; moved Morphic and Croquet to a new section entitled "Interactivity" The "video" section needs more content, though. Didn't do much but I think it's better. -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com See me on O'Reilly: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2184

Re: [Webteam] Stylescript for squeak.org
by Jason Rogers 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

The only thing I can think of is to make the content part of the page a fixed size. If we do that we would have to also add an 'overflow: auto' attribute to it.

Thanks really goes to the team. I have done very little in the way of actual content and display. I just try to organize things and make rulings/edicts when necessary. :) On 11/9/05, Ron Teitelbaum <Ron(a)usmedrec.com> wrote: > Jason, > > The site looks beautiful! > > I really like the Discover, Get it, Learn ... part.

The three pages left on Needs Approval are set to go. But, I don't know who is owning them. Does anyone fess up to this? :) -- Jason Rogers "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

Main Page
by Jason Rogers 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Alright, votes are in... The main page will be according to Goran's nice attempts. Thanks to everyone for being so involved. I do appreciate it! Please do not take this decision as a lack of desire for your inputs. The main page is a particularly sticky issue and it brought out a lot of good thoughts. I think our "voting system" (if it can be called a system) was in the end a good way of deciding this one. Please stay involved everyone. Keep the ideas flowing. -- Jason Rogers "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

Notes about squeak.org
by Damien Cassou 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi, here is somes notes about the www.squeak.org website: - In the Smalltalk web page, it could be interesting to discuss about how much squeak is compatible with the smalltalk standards. Are there people working on it ? What remains to be done ? Is it a goal for squeak to be fully compatible ? - On the same page, there is a note : "Classes inherits (reuse code) via single inheritance". The phrase "reuse code" is not correct in my opinion because inheritance is not used to reuse code. I propose to remove this phrase and let the sentence as : "Classes inherits via single inheritance". - In the screenshots webpage, when thumbnails are clicked, some pictures displays on the current page and some as a pop-up. Why not standardizing this behavior ? - Is squeak in active development ? It is not obvious on the first page. It could be interesting to have some news (some ideas follow), to have the release date, a direct link to the current development version and its date too. Some ideas to put in the news: - what are the developers currently doing - packages on squeakmap (updates and new interesting packages) - the weekly squeak - new squeak versions (release and development) with information about what has changed. What do you think about this ? -- Damien
