Hi tansel

I'm happy to hear about you. I have an article about seaside for you 
but in french :)
You know my style not representative of what I'm ;) (luckily ;))

I was just sad that Squeak News "relative failure" would hamper other 
to start the same
idea but our wonderful community is not mad at you. So perfect.

By the way I was not at the origin of the web related information but 
this is not
important at all.

I think that having a media in Squeak about squeak is really important.

Stef
