I like what you mentioned in an earlier email about building an 
application as a framework for a tutorial. And I think that doing 
test-first development is wonderful. Even if its just a couple simple 
tests on the model for the gui (assuming you choose to put a gui on it)

well-done intro tutorial that's up to date with the latest squeak dev 
image and can be easily kept up to date?
