I think that Tobias Pape and Stephan Eggermont have given a good starting
point. I tried the Metacello configuration, and that works fine. If I want
to get started on Seaside (which in fact I do), I would want to start first
with Tobias' latest prepared image, even if it's not updated to the latest
trunk level.

If we can get the squeak.org site to point to the information that Tobias
and Stephan provide, that's probably the most important thing to do right
now.

I like your idea of getting the SqueakMap entry updated, although I'd be
inclined to follow up on that issue later. How about January 1 as a new
years resolution? Dang, we have a lot of outdated entries on SqueakMap,
we really need to clean that up.

New Seaside users are going to start at the Seaside home page, so we want
to make sure that the download link for "Squeak Smalltalk" points to the
information that Tobias and Stephan have provided. Right now it is pointing
to "404 Not Found" which is not exactly the message that we want to be
sending to the world.

If I could start at the seaside.st home page and follow the download link
for Squeak to find the Metacello configuration that Stephan provided, and
the prepared image that Todias provides, I would be a happy camper :-)

Thanks,
