Perhaps.

Levente's ideas:

1. The sources file for Squeak 4.1+ is still missing.
2. "Basic Squeak Release" sounds like there are other releases of 4.2, but AFAIK there was none.
3. The pre-configured images are for older  version of Squeak (3.10, 4.1), just like the Squeak CD and DVD (3.9).
4. The errata link points to the known issues of Squeak 3.7 and 3.8.
5. I think we should have direct link to the newest VMs. Why? If a newcomer wants to try Cog and visits squeakvm.org,
s/he will think that it's still experimental or not available for Squeak (Unofficial and experimental "Cog" virtual machines).
Since Pharo has an officia release with Cog, s/he will think that Squeak is not maintained or at least it doesn't work with Cog.

Levente, of all the webmasters for the site, none of them are named "Somebody". I'm clearly not the only one who has been
ignoring your rather high handed posts. And now that I'm doing something about it, you're flaming me for not having done enough.

I just realized the problem. You don't think webmasters should be allowed to reject any of your ideas. I'll
review your ideas, but I may reject them. If you don't think the webmaster should have that kind of independence, then you can take it
to the SOB. And you can talk to me there.

The website needs to be reviewed and tweaked on a regular basis. Now that I'm on the SOB, I'll do that. But for this week, my interest
in updating the site is at an end. I'll copy your suggestions in to a Stickies and look at them next week. If anybody in future has
observations about the site, then into that green Stickies they'll go.
