Eh, well, I am not sure what you mean. I agree that a Swiki entry is not
very good.

No, of course not. What I meant was that we can "attach" resources
reachable by URL to package releases (or packages). Those resources will
be managed by the cache.
Then we can easily add a nice little hierarchical menu perhaps looking
like:
SharedStreams 1.0
Tutorial
Seaside 2.123
Tutorial
Quickstart
etc. Just select Seaside->Tutorial and wham, up comes the resource -
which could be a Squeak Project or just a textfile or whatever. From the
cache if available, otherwise from the net (SM master mirror or original
URL).
- It is not in the image taking up place.
- It is properly cached for offline access and preloading (suck it all
down why don't ya!)
- It is easily categorized using SM categories (Tutorial, Quickstart
etc) making it easy to construct UIs like the hierarchical little menu
above.
- It is kept updated by simply updating the map.

Sure. Or we could make a top level menu entry in the World menu:
installed packages...
That gives you the menu I describe above (including version names).

PS. All this is similar to what I wrote about the Magic Book a while
ago. SM acts like a big always up to date TOC.
