Hi all,

I think *all* of the book, Powerful ideas in the classroom, should be available on the web. The car tutorial on squeakland is great but it's not enough. There are some good pdfs on squeakland too but the site is poorly organised and it took me ages to find them. I wrote a blog about the frustrating but eventually successful search for etoy resources here: http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2007/04/frustrating-but-eventually-successful....
It would be good to have a comprehensive help manual in one place. Pop up help is good but sometimes more detail is needed. Such a manual would probably be used more by teachers than by students but that is still useful.
Comprehensive Open Content documentation is a big lack for Squeak (may be for a lot of other programs also). It's more an editors choise, after all most of the authors want to be read, but would be nice if, for example, as a part of the Summer of Content we could get the liberation of some of the excellent books for Squeak like Powerfull Ideas for the Classroom of the Bot Inc book. I don't know if the sponsor entities behind the project can put money on that and help to convince the editors.
Cheers,
Offray
