I added a right side-bar, with automatically aggregated news from "The Weekly Squeak".
There are some problems with UTF-8 there.
This is a well known problem, also on seaside.st. The problem is that all feeds are encoded differently and sometimes even incorrect. I don't know why the detection of the encoding doesn't work for weekly Squeak, but this should be possible to fix.
I tested to upload a screenshot and link from a small to a big, but that did not work right out of the box. I saw a Pier addon called PictureLink in the SqueakSource Pier repository. Does that make screenshot stuff easier ?
I don't know that plugin. Currently pictures are always displayed as is, unless you upload them resized or when using CSS (what is not really nice).
I know its well known issue of seaside & firefox. Do you have any thoughts how to optimize that?
I don't know of that issue. Is there a bug report in the Seaside issue tracker?
Because instead of loading content only, Firefox does all hard work by loading scripts/css sheets each time, which is suboptimal of course.
Currently the styles and the JavaScript (for the search) are all served through the image. The files can be moved to Apache, like it is done on my web-site and on seaside.st.
The other issues are just cosmetic - like the size of fonts, etc.
I didn't work on the design. What Pier uses is BlueprintCSS, a framework to get a cross-browser compliant base of styles with decent font settings. It is can be easily configured to look more like Squeak.

I did the same I did on Smallwiki with the screenshots and it seems to work.
Are urls to uploaded files/images persistent or do they change ?

Yes, they are uploaded through the image to collect some meta-data, but then super efficiently served through a static Apache URL. So you can upload huge pictures (or files in general) easily without putting any load to the image. I already wanted to build some image processing for a long time (at least the resizing part), but didn't find the time to actually do so. Maybe today while traveling .... ;-)
