Or , maybe its worth create a new page 'Profiling in Squeak' .. or<br>
give it more appropriate name<br>

Which reminds me: I had forgotten how much I hate the Swiki. It is ugly, horribly conflated, and effectively unusable. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Wikis are like gardens. Untended they grow like weeds. Unless one has a writership with an active minority of editors, who spend time trying to reorganize the wiki as it sprawls one may well end up with something effectively unusable. But as a form for organizing growing reference material IMO they can't be beat; look at Wikipedia. That is a superb wiki. The VisualWorks wiki was pretty good until its lack of spam protection and lack of long-term hosting killed it dead. Couldn't we have a community project to reorganize the wiki? Its the right form, its just a little overgrown right now.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I think this might be a better way of dealing with the information overload - you get dated, tagged entry and if we keep this open for pretty much every member of the community (using the "standard" username/password from the Swiki) we could use it much the same.<br>
<br>
I'd be more than willing to write up my post as a blog article instead. I just don't have a blog and even if I had I doubt many people would use it. A community blog could be a nice, lively place to post your thoughts in a bit more organized manner and would make an attractive target for people who just want to know what's going on in the world of Squeak.<br>
