Hi Tobias

I understand that this file

https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/repository/Metacello-Help.package/MetacelloHelp.class/class/gettingStarted.st

(= the help text , HelpTopic code of the screen shot earlier in the
thread) is May 4, 2012. It is no longer valid.

BUT I do not understand what you write below

 _That_ version is what we use to install the current version

Is it something that you use an older version to install a newer version.... ?



ACTIONPOINT:

What do we need to do?

And thanks God it could be as simple as forking Metacello repo in
Github through the web interrface and then just change the text
through the github web interface and issue a pull request  to Dale H.
(all through the web interface, it is plain text).

But  we need to know what to put there. Maybe just a pointer to a
tutorial on the web?
Which one?

And: I am a little bit astonished that this 2012 issue was not caught
earlier ....

Best
Hannes
