[Webteam] Screenshots page (was squeak.org content...)

[Janko Mivšek]

Dear webteam,

Torsten proposes the revival of Screenshots page and I think we need to 
agree on that. Current page http://www.squeak.org/Screenshots/ is 
otherwise nice but does not reflect exactly the state of current Squeak 
world, IMO. For instance, first screenshot should be a default Squeak 
image with the nicest look at feel possible (think Gary Chambers's 
enhancements)...

But me and Nico are already chatting for a while already on IRC (#aida 
channel on irc.freenode.org) about how to support this page technically.

Well we have already image support on the website but we came to the 
idea to use a Gallery scriblet for that. Here is then an example of such 
screenshot gallery:

	http://demo.bioskop.fr/wiki/screenshots.html

So, we can add few such galleries on this page, one for each section and 
  table of contents at the top. What do you think?

Best regards
Janko
