Creating a project with links to other projects locally

Hi,

it sounds like you are running into the "sandbox trap"...

For security purposes Squeak enables a so called sandbox as soon as you 
load a project. The reason for this security measure is the fact that 
projects contain scripts and we don't restrict what these scripts may do 
(like accessing files etc). In order to prevent damage (even unintended) 
  we restrict access to the My Squeak folder upon activating the sandbox.

Try copying all your projects to the user folder within My Squeak.

The best solution for this (and publishing in general) is setting up 
your own SuperSwiki (swiki + project publishing).

I will send another message announcing the availability of a first 
version of a ready to use installer shortly.
