Here is the mail Lukas sent to the list.
There are quite a few other changes made to the image and stylescript.
But the image seems stable :-)

The image we are using for www.seaside.st is now available at:

    http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/sw1/www.seaside.st.zip

There are a couple of things to notice:

1. We were using an old version of SmallWiki 1 and we did some  changes 
that you can see in the open changes-browser.

2. The wiki is running on port 8080, so you should be able to browse  it 
on your local machine at http://localhost:8080, the admin username/ 
password is admin/smallwiki.

3. We added a snapshot action so that editors are able to save the  
image immediately after changing the model. There seems to be  problems 
with the class Delay in Squeak, on wich the storage is  heavily relying 
on, so it is a good idea to use the action to save it  manually.

4. The model of www.seaside.st is still in the image, but I pruned  the 
version history to shrink it. To start from scratch, you just  stop the 
server, close the server-workspace and setup a new one  according to 
lines in the smallwiki-workspace.

5. We run this image within a VNC session (NOT the VNC integrated  into 
Squeak itself) to have full control, and it runs without any  problems 
since the start of www.seaside.st.

Hope this is of any use for you,
Lukas
