A few more changes:
- I removed those search boxes from the documentation page.
- I also re-organized the top few sections, merging the video,
book, and tutorial list into a "Useful Resources" heading.
- Added the "Discovering Better Code Series" as a top-document,
as it was particularly useful today, as someone was looking
for a document on exactly that topic
- Moved the link to http://squeak.joyful.com/Sites to the
"Community" page
- Replaced links to irc and the mailing list with a single link
to the Community page
Still to be done:
- figure out what to do with the links at the bottom of the
page. Especially the link to squeaknews.com. I am examining
that site to see what is there; unfortunately, my system is
not able to mount their zipped ISO images right now, due to
some error with my /dev/loop device.
- Move the section "Exploring the code" onto a dedicated wiki
page. I am sure an appropriate page exists, but I need to go
to bed.
My goal for this page is to be able to point to it as "the"
place to direct anyone unfamiliar with squeak able to operate
the system. More specifically, I am about to start a Seaside
tutorial, and I want to be able to assume that the reader is
already familiar with Squeak. I would like to justify that
assumption with only one link:
http://www.squeak.org/Documentation
How well does the page meet that criteria? Is it a valid
criteria? If so, should the page be renamed "Getting Started" ?

Still todo.
