Jason, Just join that list. After that Karl Ramberg (the WebTeam Lead) will need to create a user for the website (test and production) so that you can edit pages. You'll need to let him know what username (and possibly password) you would like to have.

Fwd: The Weekly Squeak
by Jason Rogers 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Website Team: Most of us are on the Dev List, but just in case you aren't receiving emails from the Dev List due to the recent blacklisting issues I thought I would forward this on. Maybe Jason Burke would like to sign up on the team and own a tutorial section/page. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: tim Rowledge <tim(a)rowledge.org> Date: Dec 7, 2005 8:39 PM Subject: Re: The Weekly Squeak To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> On 7-Dec-05, at 4:18 PM, Simon Michael wrote: > - if (big if) you can keep it up to date. That is indeed the big issue. Keeping these thing current is a lot of work and requires much commitment. One good thing about trying to do a good tutorial is that it raises issues of trying to explain things. Anywhere it is difficult to explain implies a design failure. If at all possible could you keep the pages accessible to others (a select group if you prefer) so that it could be kept up if you need to spend time on other things? It's very sad to see some nice efforts lose their value because they can't be maintained over time. Perhaps an area on the squeak.org or foundation server could be made available. tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim -- Jason Rogers "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

"Powered by Squeak" logo needed?
by Darius Clarke 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Webteam, We really need a "Powered by Squeak, Powered by Seaside, Powered by Smalltalk" statement and logo(s) if possible. I believe that says a lot to a visitor. Should I add this to the test site? Here are some possibilities: http://www.whysmalltalk.com/graphics/ http://www.goodstart.com/images/poweredbysmalltalk3.jpg http://www.dolphinharbor.org/dh/index.html These seem offline > http://4096.sk/seaside_draft.gif > http://4096.sk/seaside_logo_draft.png So I'd do a variation of the homepage logo. http://www.bsdnexus.com/mascot/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2001-April/001892.ht… http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2170 Cheers, Darius

Paypal link problem....
by Marcus Denker 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi, I was just notified by someone who is waiting for his DVD to arrive, and when looking, I found out that nobody got a DVD delivered when buying from the Squeak.org link.... bad :-( Can someone fix the html for the button? The problem seems to be the space before the "IPN": name="notify_url" value="https://www.swiftcd.com/ IPN.asp? ECID=94FAAF12-B4CF-4CB4-9795-7E666642A6FA" This needs to be checked on both pages: http://squeak.org/Download/SqueakDVD/ http://squeak.org/Download/SqueakCD/ I will do a test order as soon as this is fixed. Thanks! Marcus

Re: About Squeak Web Site

Thanks Germán for the suggestion. I am copying this to the WebTeam. You can post messages to them or create Mantis issues in the future. It would be easier for these feedbacks not to get missed in people's personal inboxes.

Stable SW1 version on squeaksource
by Samir Saidani 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi, I put a stable version of smallwiki1 on squeaksource (http://www.squeaksource.com/smallwiki1 , SmallWiki-Kernel-stable and SmallWiki-Parser-stable). This version is currently used for squeak.org, and www.seaside.st, and seems stable as a rock ! The current version, available in squeakmap, will be renamed unstable. So for little and/or trivial features, just put them into the stable version on squeaksource (read/write access for everyone), and for big and important features, requiring some deep modification of the smallwiki1 kernel, probably shoud we work with the unstable branch (read/write access for everyone too). Let's share our contributions ! Regards, Samir

Suggestion+for+Squeak+Website
by Max Hailperin 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

The Squeak home page's claim that "Smalltalk is the original object oriented language" is historically suspect. That honor is usually given to Simula. -Max Hailperin Professor and Chair Mathematics and Computer Science Department Gustavus Adolphus College 800 W.
