I am a beginner with Squeak and the problem I am facing is not knowing how to go about using the tools available.
There is a lot of language information, but not a “here’s what we do” best practices for developers. I don’t mean coding, but I mean, how to find the resource I need. How to build your project in pieces that you can test, etc.
What I was looking for is an Apprentice kind of relationship, but nobody seems interested or nearby.
Sincerely,
Joe.

I think it is time for the Squeak balloon to be grounded to connect with the reality of why computer languages exist - to make things easy for application developers. So I propose all Squeak developers stop "improving" Squeak for one year and spend the time writing useful applications in Squeak. That could lead to a basket of new ideas for next year. Maybe make this a regularly scheduled event - a half year for applications and a half year for Squeak?

The Workspace window gets halos with a right mouse click on a standard 2 button laptop mouse. So I'll return to an older Squeak for now.
