wondering what purpose the following serves (from: 
http://www.squeak.org/Features/MultiMedia/):

"
Alice
Alice is an authoring tool designed for people without programming experience to 
build interactive 3D worlds. The Stage 3 Research Group (Randy Pausch director) 
started the Alice project at the University of Virginia, and is continuing their 
work at Carnegie Mellon University'sStage3 Research.
Squeak-Alice brings the ideas and the ideals of Alice to Squeak, with the goal 
of introducing even more people to 3D graphics and allowing them to author in 
the medium. Wonderlands are the basic building blocks of Squeak-Alice and are 
interactive 3D worlds. To create a Wonderland, evaluate:
Wonderland new.
This creates a script editor, a control panel, and a window into the 3D world.

not sure how much this (the alice info) helps someone looking into 3d graphics 
in squeak... 


no idea what version(s) of squeak alice  runs correctly on (i have not tried 
with 3.9-4.1)... but it seems like there would be something on the above page 
with some hints ... or just a simple spelling out that alice only works in 
squeak version "something(s)" and here is the link to that download...

 it just doesn't seem very  gracious/helpful to have that "information" there - 
unless it actually showed something that works - and the quickest way to make it 
work.

i recall it worked (alice)  - years ago... it worked in squeak. a long time ago. 


if this is something that is still current in some way not obvious, i suppose it 
is great to have - but the 1 working link in the alice stuff seems to lead to 
java... the other goes nowhere, and the screenshot, well....

i know how it is to find a cool description that leads to, well..... yet, this 
is something right there in the heartland: squeak.org.

not being critical -  just an observation. i think the alice project is pretty 
cool: just not sure how well it fits in with squeak - at least on 
http://www.squeak.org/Features/MultiMedia/ .

2 cents

PS - stumbled on this while looking into squeak GUI stuff... 
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1576 , etc... which seems to have stopped around 
2008 or so.... it seems searching for "GUI" at: 
http://www.squeak.org/search.html would possibly lead to something more than the 
infamous and celebrated  "0 hits "... :) 

again, just an observation. i know that there are piles of pages of how to do 
what i want to do in morphic spread across all manner of squeak releases...
