Take a look on the swiki to see how several groups and individuals have tried to build tutorials and lost steam after a while. I?ve been trying to clean up and update some of it but it takes a lot of thought and a startling amount of time.

I?ve tried to clean up the documentation & ?squeak books? pages, and made a start on pulling together some old and new tutorial stuff to try to make a coherent whole. It?s a huge project.

I hope you are willing to accept a small amount of praise, glory, and gratitude

I do think that it would be helpful to make this more directly visible from

is not much content behind it. It might be good if new users could quickly
find their way to wiki.squeak.org.squeak.
