Squeak.org Updates
by Fabio Niephaus 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello everyone, I'm Fabio, a master student at the HPI Software Architecture Group. As you might have heard already, Marcel Taeumel and I are working on a Squeak.org update. You can find our latest version at: https://fniephaus.com/squeak.org/ Please feel free to provide as much feedback as you wish. We're happy to incorporate your ideas. Marcel and I are wondering how the current page is being served. Also, we are looking for a good way to serve the new site while still being able to update it collaboratively. Currently, our version is being developed and hosted on GitHub and can therefore be changed easily. Could someone please point us in the right direction? Many thanks and kind regards, Fabio -- Fabio Niephaus IT-Systems Engineering Student Hasso-Plattner-Institut für Softwaresystemtechnik GmbH, Potsdam Prof.-Dr.-Helmert-Str. 2-3 D-14482 Potsdam www.hpi.de Amtsgericht Potsdam, HRB 12184 Geschäftsführung: Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel

Broken link to squeaksource.com on www.squeak.org/Development
by David T. Lewis 13 Aug '14

The link on our Squeak site points to the nonexistent http://www.squeaksource.org. It should of course be http://www.squeaksource.com. Can someone with web site access please fix the link? Thanks, Dave

SMServer beta online
by Chris Cunnington 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

http://box4.squeak.org:9971/seaside/ss Here's a beta to replace map.squeak.org. Not all of the features work (Join, New Proejct, Save in the Your Project form). I didn't see much point in doing everything until qmail is installed on box4. It's Seaside2.8 and SS2. (Well, I've removed Magritte and re-installed SSTableReport, so perhaps I'm hacking SS2Retro). I'll save SS2Retro to its own repo. I'll then push SMServer to the SqueakServices repo. Chris

squeak.org issues list

cc'd to box-admins, as there's some overlap squeak.org issues list: - zip resources for faster download - use minified versions of files - get that 404 image (broken paper showing a code browser) out of my email Archive and install - check multi platform layouts (i.e. cell phone, tablet) - doesn’t work on IE8 - sometimes hogs the CPU, needs to be watched

http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/SqueakServices.html I've created a repo on SS3 where the source for squeak.org can be found. SQSqueakApplication has an Altitude Installer script in the class comment. Chris

new website and webteam (was: serving files from box4)
by Chris Muller 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Levente is right, we need to get the new website set up under a webteam id, that only has access to what it needs for the website. Chris C., yourself, and Timothy (if he wants), and I'm interested too, added as group members. This would take care of the immediate security need, as well as distribute some of the burden currently concentrated on Chris C. Chris C., is this something you would like to handle or would you prefer someone else do it?

squeak.org issues list
by Chris Cunnington 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

I just completed a round of changes to squeak.org, which I'll upload tomorrow. The homepage seems to be a Pandora's box I've opened. I see a collision about to happen where strong opinions meet in a space where there is no time. I want to say that there is time. The homepage went for a long time with no tending and now I feel people think they need to get their changes in exactly as they want them quick before it disappears again. It's not about to disappear. And there is time. And your content will go on the site. And it will not be rendered exactly as you want it to be. I don't have a solution for inlining links at the moment. And I'm not sure I want one. I do have a strong distaste for links to Wikipedia. (Now that I think about it, there is a strong paradigm in people's mind that squeak.org should be a wiki. I don't see it that way.) And please remember, I'm a volunteer. It's important to allow me to feel I own part of the process. I elect to own presentation and not content. Not entirely, but some. And there's value in this, because somebody needs to see the whole. People have been making comments that would warp the overall look of the site. And some comments show people haven't noticed their changes have already happened or if something they want already exits somewhere else on the site. There's lots of time to figure these things out. A lot has improved in two weeks. Thank You, Chris squeak.org issues: image shouldn’t run as root resource links are to chriscunnington.com zip resources for faster download - use minified versions of files - get that 404 image (broken paper showing a code browser) out of my email Archive and install - check multi platform layouts (i.e. cell phone, tablet)

Fwd: [squeak-dev] Re: The new site looks great! [EOM]

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marcel Taeumel <marcel.taeumel(a)student.hpi.uni-potsdam.de> Date: Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 11:43 PM Subject: [squeak-dev] Re: The new site looks great! [EOM] To: squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org I think the colors are all messed up and the spacing needs to be fixed. The forward/backward buttons besides the central screenshot have a strange offset upwards. The screenshots are kind of confusing and do not actually promote the features they aim to visualize. How about applying some visual concepts that are well known from other popular sites? Hmmm... what about Twitter's Bootstrap? Or, to get started, we could use a harmonizing color scheme. -> http://colorschemedesigner.com/ Maybe we can promote our features in tiles like www.fogcreek.com does. Big, sliding screenshots could be used for cool projects that actually use that features. Maybe we can just get rid of that slideshow because the site visitor has almost no control about it. And it does present those features at a glance. I found this interesting to read: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/auto-forwarding/ "Squeak is a modern, open source, full-featured implementation of the powerful Smalltalk programming language and environment. Squeak is highly-portable, running on almost any platform you could name and you can really truly write once run anywhere. Squeak is the vehicle for a wide range of projects from multimedia applications and educational platforms to commercial web application development. Read on and join in!" --- What are the definitions of "modern" and "powerful"? Do we need those adjectives? Isn't it paradox to say "highly-portable" and "almost any platform" in one sentence? How does "really truly" provide any argument to a site visitor? What actually *is* the target group of this advertisement? ;) Most importantly: The download link on the home page should be *above the fold* Just my two cents. :-) Best, Marcel -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/The-new-site-looks-great-EOM-tp4750425p4750585.html Sent from the Squeak - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
