Dear Squeakers,

welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an (in principle) monthly but somewhat traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog.

The past month only saw three posts in the blog, but each single one of them is a highlight in itself.

Sean P. DeNigris has achieved something that brings a bit of the multimedia spirit of Squeak 3.8 back to recent images: movies can be played again [1]! Sean backported QuickTime support from Sophie. *Thanks!*

The lean-and-mean (more lean than mean) Squeak offspring called Cuis has been released in version 3.0 [2], and I wonder whether the Morphic enhancements this system supports aren't actually worthwhile for inclusion in Squeak proper ...

Microsoft's Kinect remote control is now also supported in Squeak [3], and this was brought to us by Ricardo Moran, who already did outstanding work on Physical Etoys.

The past month's news items:
