Right now people googling "Squeak" or going to squeak.org continue see the
"Squeak 3.10 now released!" headline from The Weekly Squeak. A single simple
blog post entitled "Squeak 3.10 release delayed" would prevent people from
having the not-so-good experience - in effect stop the bleeding.

Since The Weekly Squeak is a Wordpress blog, establishing multiple authors
with different roles/capabilities is a breeze. A board representative can
make "official" announcements when necessary that will show up both on the
blog and squeak.org.

Perhaps Qwaq would consider providing a forum for the board and team leaders
to facilitate more effective interaction. Voice/video sessions with a shared
web browser should prove to be valuable tools for enhancing the
communication process. It might also be a way to bring together leadership
from the various Squeak-based communities.
