In the process of writing chunks of the Etoys Reference Manual
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/etoys-reference-manual/_edit/
I have found a large number of infelicities, ranging from typos in Class comments to architectural issues. I have been directed here to talk about what is needed, and ask who might be working on bringing the latest Etoys into the standard Squeak distribution. I intend to go through Etoys systematically when the Reference Manual is completed and submit changesets. Then I intend to work on an Etoys By Example book explaining how the projects that come with Etoys can be replicated and improved.

Bravo Edward!
Running the latest Etoys on the latest Squeak is something we've wanted to do for a long time. I don't know that there's anyone actively working on it now, but we'd certainly welcome your efforts.
This is the right place to bring up issues that you find while working on the manual. I'd guess that some of your changes would apply to Squeak and others to Etoys, but there are Etoys developers on this list, so they'll undoubtedly find their way to the right place. Feel free to ask questions or post changesets here or submit Monticello versions to the Inbox repository.
Thanks Edward, for tackling this.
