Could we fix the web site

I just had a look at the squeak web site and I have to say, I like it. It
is unique and has everything in a concise layout.
The only thing I would suggest is; can we get some kind of date on the news
items (e.g. Weekly Squeak [week 2, 2007]). I don't know about others, but
the first thing I do in evaluating a site is check for dates. I saw some
but it wouldn't hurt to relate them to the weekly squeak as well.
And Step, I'm afraid I didn't really understand your concerns. Is it just
about typos showing up in the news? Would you mind restating it?
Thanks,
J
