Very true. Squeak is designed for live adaptation ("authoring is always on"), 
so it is hard to capture its behavior in a static book and expect to use it 
unchanged for more than a couple of releases.

One way beginners can start contributing to Squeak is to take a linear guide 
like "Terse Guide to Squeak" and add these as example methods into Squeak 
which can be updated as Squeak evolves. Such a live guide can be explored 
through multiple aspects like senders, implementors, references etc. in the 
image itself.

Anyone game for it?
