Hey, that's pretty cool! It appears to be what Dick was asking for, although it looks like a rather old version of Squeak.

Umm, I would think the opposite would be true: the latest release would always have material more recent than the sources wiki. (Since you can always update your alpha image from the server to get the latest code changes.) Unless you're suggesting that someone sets up a script to update the sources wiki with the latest code upon every alpha update, but that seems sort of unnecessary.
Still, having a sources wiki, updated with each major release (e.g. 2.8, 3.0), would be sort of handy for some things. (e.g. printable documentation, a place for someone who hasn't yet downloaded the image to poke around, etc.)
