I really think that the site should roughly simulate the appearance of the
Squeak desktop environment (734 pixels wide) with Diego visual enhancements and
the Squeak pastel color scheme.
This quickly moves them psychologically from site visitor to Squeak User. For
example:
* Navigation menus that look like Morphic menus w/little icons.
* Links to new pages look like collapsed window handles.
* Text content appears to be in a PluggableText morph window.
* Visual "flaps" would link to another page that, when opened, would appear to
have the flap out.
* The flap labeled Squeak to have overview info icons.
* The flap labeled Navigator allows publishing visitor feedback and a link to
the Super Swiki project page.
* The widgets and supplies flaps and Object Catalog bring up a graphic
representation of those flaps and catalog window.
* The Browser icon brings up a window, that looks like the System Browser, that
allows you to scroll through the class categories of Squeak 3.5.
* Scamper icon, also labeled "Squeak Documentation", brings up a new Internet
browser window showing the Squeak Swiki homepage.
* If they have JVM let them see a graphic representation (layered <div>) of a
morph showing the halo that they can rotate (only).
* Show prominently how to download the Squeakland Plug-in so they can load in a
project that mirrors the Squeak.org site, which in turn links to other popular
project files online that they can open.
* Preview a page by hovering over its link.
Cheers,
Darius
