I've just started learning about Squeak (I used to use Digitalk 
Smalltalk/V on a Mac years ago).  I was wondering if people here could 
answer some questions:

The book I'm reading says that Squeak is currently developed by a team led 
by Alan Kay at Disney. The Web page also says this.  However, I've also 
read that Alan Kay left Disney a while ago.  Also, the page "Where is 
Squeak Headed" on the squeak.org Web site only has information from late 
1999.  How active is this project?  I assume it's pretty active since a 
lot of people are posting on this list, but I thought I'd ask.

Also, what do people use Sqeak for?  Is it mostly an educational tool, or 
do people use it for commercial or free software?  What kinds of projects 
are currently going on in Squeak?

How does Squeak compare to commercial Smalltalks?  I've been kind of out 
of the loop for a while, but I kind of figured that Smalltalk was on the 
decline when ParcPlace and Digitalk merged then were bought(?) by Cincom.  
But I a few books on Squeak at Borders Books and thought maybe there's 
more activity in Smalltalk than I thought ...

Thanks!
