A couple of thoughts on the text in the Welcome to... window:-
Since the entire code for the vm is _not_ included (and actually never was except for Macs of course) we should rephrase that bit. How about:- "Squeak is a rapidly moving project based on Smalltalk-80, with which it is still reasonably compatible. Squeak includes a full integrated development environment, networking, sound synthesis and sampling, speech synthesis, 2 & 3D graphics, arithmetic and data structure libraries. It even incorporates tools to produce the core code for its own virtual machine so that you can build your own VM; see <whatever the url for the vm making page on swiki is>"
Why is the old Back to the future page pointed to as an ftp fetch? Can't we put it on the squeak.org website 'normally'?
The Projects section notes "Others, probably more recent than this release, may be found (someday)..." - shouldn't this be less tentative by now?
Although the window furniture is probably reasonably familir looking to most people, it might be worth a) adding a balloon help to the scrollbar widgets b) adding a text morph of some variety tellng people to move the mouse around and let it linger on the icons to find out what they do. That should at least let people know how to open up the other windows!
Other options I can imagine capable morphers producing
a scrolling text morph with a highlights of squeak message a tabbed notebook with pages for each topic a project with lots of explanatory bits and animations, labelled 'Press here for beginners help' in large friendly letters.
