I actually think it would be a bad idea to mix using etoys questions with
finding your way in the class browser (not the same thing, not the same
targeted audience).
Concerning the french Squeak-list, which is a good list, if you look closely
you won't see a lot people actually *learning* smalltalk : giving example of
problem they have with their code, asking for help, etc.
For the moment the Squeak lists reflect its community state.
Apart from Squeakland (for etoys), Squeak is orientated research/hackers
which is OK but I believe it *needs" students/teachers/people *learning*
Squeak to produce useful tools-apps (not mainly research ones)
If Squeak-Smalltalk doesn't succeed in that it will *always* stay a platform
for researchers/hackers. This is not bad obviously, it's just a question of
choice.
