I prepared a quick demo of the Squeak web site using Pier. My thanks go to Danie and Karl, that provided me with the old image to migrate the content. I did not adapt the CSS or the components of the page yet, what you see is as Pier comes after the installation. As I mentioned there are dozens of plugins ready that can be placed at any part of the web-site:

The password for an admin users with (almost all privileges) is:
demo/demo
I can't figure out how to use this one either. I would like to make an itemized tutorial list where anyone can post a tutorial, tag it, review it, rate it, or show all tutorials on one subject. I did this by making a blog, and adding three posts to it: http://squeak.lukas-renggli.ch/Documentation/Tutorials
However, none of the posts are showing up there, and it does not seem like the title of the post can be made into a link to the tutorial, which makes for a pretty bad tutorial list.
What I would like is something like reddit, where one can post tutorials, rate them, and be able to see which ones are most recommended for a given subject. I have a big list to start from at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/SqueakTutorials
On http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/SqueakTutorials click 'Add', then select Post as a type. Don't forget to set the publication date.
OK. Setting the publication date of my entries solved the problem. That seems like a big bug that entries don't show up until you set a publication date.
A few issues I have using the site: - I kept getting logged out, and having to re-enter the password whenever I used the navigation features "Browse" or "Link" - I couldn't find a way to get back to the tutorial list from an individual post. A post seems like a dead-end, link-wise. Pier used to have some kind of navigation tree on the left side. Where did that go? - I don't see a way to list post-titles only, or make the post title be a link to the tutorial. I guess Blog is the wrong abstraction for what I want to accomplish, although it is close. I guess more of what I want is a ratable, tag-gable, comment-able, searchable bookmark list, sorted by popularity, and grouped by tags

No, that's a feature. I have many blog articles that I don't want to get public right away. Sometimes there is content missing. Sometimes I want to pass the link to someone to give an OK before publishing. It also allows to automatically publish entries in the future.
- I kept getting logged out, and having to re-enter the password

I fixed that problem already a few days ago, but didn't update the squeak server yet. It should work now.
- I couldn't find a way to get back to the tutorial list from an
individual post. A post seems like a dead-end, link-wise. Pier used to have some kind of navigation tree on the left side. Where did that go?
Somebody changed the navigation tree, so that it does not display posts. That can be changed back in the environment. Or we could add a special tree that always shows everything when you are logged in as admin. I do this on my web site not to have to show everything for users.
- I don't see a way to list post-titles only, or make the post
title be a link to the tutorial.
Displaying a list of post titles can be simply implemented by embedding a children component in the blog itself.

Yes, probably. A blog is really a blog like you have for example on my web-site. However what you want could be implemented on top (or reusing parts) of the blog.
