Right now people googling "Squeak" or going to <a href="http://squeak.org">squeak.org</a> continue see the "Squeak 3.10 now released!" headline from The Weekly Squeak. A single simple blog post entitled "Squeak 3.10 release delayed" would prevent people from having the not-so-good experience - in effect stop the bleeding. <br>
<br>Since The Weekly Squeak is a Wordpress blog, establishing multiple authors with different roles/capabilities is a breeze. A board representative can make "official" announcements when necessary that will show up both on the blog and <a href="http://squeak.org">squeak.org</a>.<br>
<br>Perhaps Qwaq would consider providing a forum for the board and team leaders to facilitate more effective interaction. Voice/video sessions with a shared web browser should prove to be valuable tools for enhancing the communication process. It might also be a way to bring together leadership from the various Squeak-based communities.<br>

I too agree here. I think it's the job of the board to be accountable for the<br>
overall vision of Squeak. I'd rather the board get out of the way when things<br>
are already working, but if it's clear that things aren't working and some<br>
decisions need to be made, I'll be personally motivated to make sure that<br>
those shortcomings are on the board's agenda.<br>
