Where? Gimi gimi! I Can't wait! Is this purely an
Alice book? Or is it the begining of Squeaks
built-in-help? On that note, are there plans for a
help system which can file in new distributed notes,
support runtime entry additions, (maybe even
auto-scribe a class into a topic of the total
collection). I envisaged this as a collapse/expand
tree view which held many sections. You could create a
topic topology which began at abstract groupings of
topics, then worked it's way down to specific branches
of information. Classes, mechanisms, general subject
theory (graphics programming, sound synthesis, object
management, network, workspace). Due to the
orientation of Smalltalk (and Squeak) being a world of
exploration, a good learning tool would certainly be a
complementary device.

Have i told anybody that i'm the resident volunteer
graphic artist for the Squeak crew? Hmmmmm, does this
book need a cover? A logo? Images? Typography?
Anything? Quality not a problem ;->
