I like the new look!

Some comments and suggestions, though:

* Documentation page has all single-quotes doubled (did this come from 
Squeak?).

* Should point people to egroups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/) to 
see the mail list archives (much better, searchable, etc.) rather than 
http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/mail/squeak/

* Features doesn't mention (AFAICT): Flash or Genie (though I guess the 
latter is 3.1)

* Minnow is still down (but this isn't squeak.org's problem)

* Where is Squeak Headed is still the old 1999 essay. Wasn't there a 2000 
version of this? Dan?

* Linux download should mention that there are, in fact, binary images 
available (as Debian .deb files).

* Pointing to the Mini Squeak 2.3 WinCE image is silly considering that we 
have the 2.7 (soon the 3.0) VM and can majorShrink an image for the PDA's
