Hi,

some questions/comments to Squeakland05:

Very fine and helpfull: less buttons in the navigator! No more irritating
behavior when not extra configured for use in a network...(but see pt. 4)

1. what does the workspace window do? Do I have to start something there??

2. Does Squeakland05 load Balloon3D? There is some text of it in the
workspace, where will I find it, how to test?

3. newer, tell & share (old navigator buttons) are usefull for classroom
activities - how do I activate this buttons now? I would suggest a hidden
flap "network"or "collaboration" whith this buttons - and maybe some other
network/collaboration related squeak stuff (chat, awarenes, mail,
browser..), if you need it,activate the flap in the world menu...

4. Some help how to setup Squeak in a network would be fine, share an tell
never worked for me...

6. Are there new commands in the viewer? Changed behavior for some commands?

7. The erase command (category misc. in the viewer) should delete an
object without preserving it in trash. At least there should be an option
to prevent preserving in trash (for erasing objects via scripts...not
related to preferences)

8. Much to my regret I could'nt see Squeak in Japanese - only
questionmarks... I wouldn't really understand, but be pleased;-) Do I need
extra language files?? The questionmarks would appear at every western pc
I suppose.

9. To much servers in the FIND or PUBLISH list - better one well
maintained project server (Swiki??) for downloads. For uploads/publishing
only locale... in the standard.

10. It should be far easier to add new servers or direcories to the list.

11. What will happen if I don't install the new image after launching it,
will the updates automatically update the image and provide the changes?

Hope, that helps, some more comments maybe in some days, I've to get my
daughter to school first ;-)

best regards,

Christian Grune
