Craig,

Thank you for reaching out. That Squeak remains a fascinating platform 
for inventing the future even after 25 years is a testimony to the 
visions of its creators and the commitment of its community.

My proposals for the home page :

  * a scrolling banner "25th year of Squeak" or something similar on 
squeak.org that links to a page on its history.
  * a screenshot of the email announcement that links to the actual 
email in https://files.squeak.org/history/

The next iteration of Squeak 5.3 needs an image (greeting card!) to 
highlight this milestone.

https://files.squeak.org/mail/index.html has mail records only from Nov 
1996. Mails from Sep to Nov can be recovered/reconstructed for a 
complete record.

BTW, contents of mail/ folder may be merged into history for ease of 
access and (search) indexing.

Regards .. Subbu
