When Smalltalk was <http://www.smalltalk.org/smalltalk/TheEarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk_Abstract.html > created more than 35 years ago it defined the term object orientation and is the first language in which everything is built from objects. Smalltalk is deeply inspired by ideas from especially Simula <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simula> , Sketchpad <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad> and Lisp <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_programming_language> and even today Smalltalk sets the bar for object oriented dynamically strongly typed interactive languages and environments. * maybe this would be better When Smalltalk was <http://www.smalltalk.org/smalltalk/TheEarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk_Abstract.html > created more than 35 years ago it defined the term object orientation and is the first language in which everything is built from objects.

Because especially does not describe the list and is grammatically incorrect. Also adding strongly before typed suggests that Smalltalk is typed. * or When Smalltalk was <http://www.smalltalk.org/smalltalk/TheEarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk_Abstract.html > created more then 35 years ago it defined the term object orientation. Smalltalk was deeply inspired by Simula <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simula> , Sketchpad <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad> and Lisp <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_programming_language> which have also inspired most modern programming languages. The concept of object orientation revolutionized computer programming and is considered essential to solving today's complex computer problems. In Smalltalk everything is built from objects. Most of Smalltalk is written in Smalltalk making it one of the most accessible languages. Smalltalk is an extremely powerful object oriented dynamically typed interactive language and environment. You did a beautiful job on the site! Ron Teitelbaum

We have updated the front page on www.squeak.org. Göran did text changes and Darius Clark provided some logos about the technologies behind the website: Smalltalk, Squeak and SmallWiki. Any questions etc are welcome either on this list or preferably on webteam(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org Karl

I think of Squeak as general use, accessable, simple yet advanced, uniform approach to data, objects all the way, etc :-) Not to diss your work but I'm thinking of asking the community as a whole on Squeak-dev and Squeakland to come up with some suggestions on a powered by Squeak logo. I think we also should ask the Smallwiki guys for a powered by Smallwiki logo. What do you think? Karl

Team page on www.squeak.org updated

(resent with the correct address, Ken and the SqF board has already gotten it) Hi guys! I took the liberty of adding the Team model description (rewritten a bit for current times) to the Team page on www.squeak.org: http://www.squeak.org/Community/Teams/ I also modified the paragraph on the top. Ken can always correct the page - you are after all Team master. :) And if anyone on the SqF board feels that the Team model described is in some way "wrong", speak up. I didn't change it much from the original description that is still available at: http://swiki.krampe.se/castaways/6 regards, Göran

Frontpage fixed etc
by goran＠krampe.se 04 Jan '06

Hi folks! Ok, now I have fixed the frontpage on both www.squeak.org and wwwtest according to what I think we agreed on - plus or minus a few details. This is now the reworked shorter version that has been sitting on wwwtest for a while - I think it is better. I also fixed incorrect URLs on a few pages and made sure to change both wwwtest and www.squeak.org. I will try to find the time to look over the other pages I own later this month. I kinda jumped the "procedure" here (Needs Approval etc) but it felt like changes we have agreed on - and small URL changes that doesn't need approval. Btw, Karl - could you (shortly) describe the procedure you would like for us to use? regards, Göran PS. I think the "Powered by Squeak" logo would look cleaner if the lego piece and background image was removed - just use the button and the text. But perhaps with a different font. :) Yes, I am hard to please.
