Perhaps the better question is, whether Dan himself is convinced to
repoint stuff. If I understand correctly, the idea is to have only a
single page for squeak.org and everything else is located in an
arbitrary number of chaos-wikis?
Well, I must say here, the idea is.. ehem... Squeak should have at least
one place as comprehensive as possible, where it offers a homogeneous
look and balanced information and when possible in a special design
which underlines Squeak's very nature and contrasts from the uniform
design of blogs and wikis.
This is not the sort of work which can be done by an ever changing bunch
of not-so-collaborating-people. Terrific examples of what I mean are
pages at the Minnow site like:
- New Squeaker questions
- The Newbie page
These are really killer pages - they kill every interest of a newcomer
or a random surfer in a few seconds.
Current Squeak.org has the right concept, it is just a bit outdated.
Regards,
Martin
