This is a very good idea.

Can I suggest that we write a short article for publication on
news.squeak.org? Whatever other material we produce could all point to
that, rather than to the book or the press release directly. This will
help to raise awareness of our blog, and also give a good forum for
comments.

We should think about who we should target: Slashdot, Reddit and Digg
spring to mind immediately. Any others?

It would be useful to let the list know when articles had been
submitted, to give us a chance to vote them up (though we should be
careful not to overdo it - I remember that the DabbleDB folk got
themselves accused of trying to game the Digg voting a while ago).

I'm happy to help with preparation of articles, etc.

Cheers, Michael
