For what it's worth... I have been on the Squeak WebTeam almost since
the beginning, mostly in a ghost-like capacity, for some time in the
lead position. I do what I can, when I can -- which is to say I don't
do much.
The site is running in a very old instance of SmallWiki, as this
thread has already shown. Personally, I would like to see it updated.
One of the main concerns we have had is about content backup. Our
current solution of snapshotting the image and tar-gzipping it has
historically been a poor (and very disk-space-expensive) solution.
I would like to have him give it a go, for a few different reasons,
mainly due to his enthusiasm. There's no need for the community to
polarize because he wants to use Aida instead of Seaside. They
compete with each other a bit, but competition is good!!! It fuels
innovation.
My 2 cents.
