Imagine a newbie: He goes to www.seaside.st and clicks on his favorite
platform. Surprisingly he is brought back to the main website of his
platform. The next logical step would be to assume that Seaside comes
with the default distribution. So he downloads it and finds Seaside
included with GST and VASt, but not in Squeak. Now, the newbie is lost
and probably gives up.

The newbie is definitely lost.

That's perfect, thank's for letting us know.

Maybe you could additional put a link on www.squeak.org that explains
how to get started? If necessary, we can discuss further actions in
the thread on the dev-list.
