I know that Seaside is used not just on Squeak but on VW, Gemstone and GNU ST, that is not the point.<br>That is the reason I wrote "an" entry point to smalltalk in "general" and squeak in "particular".<br>
Now, I don't want to start a flamewar here but my *personal* opinion is that a lot of interesting projects are based in squeak (squeak, olpc, spoon, etc) and therefore it's important to inform people about this kind of projects that aren't found in other environments.<br>
Besides, squeak and other projects are community supported, so lacking funds to promote them commercialy (as VW can) the obious way to promote them is by mailing lists AND by word of mouth.<br>I don't think that this weekly new is taking a side with Squeak, but trying to show all the options, technologies, and event of interest that happens in the smalltalk world (name it Squeak, VW, Gemstone/S, GNU ST, etc)<br>
This kind of attitude towards *external* information doesn't help to grow our (in comparison) small community. We need to grow it and the more friendly we are, the better for us in the long time.<br><br>Miguel Cobá<br>

</div>Not necessarily a squeak entry point, we use it with VisualWorks.<br>
Seaside is not Squeak even if it started there. As Michael pointed out<br>
earlier, should the Seaside list also carry release announcements about VW?<br>
<br>
Personally I don't particularly care one way or the other, especially if<br>
they're only once a week or less. It is interesting to find a summary of<br>
what areas are active.<br>
