A reminder that the Georgia Tech Swiki Support is going away.
I see that the SqueakSwiki link at www.squeak.org still points to <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/Squeak>.
Has this been planned for? Is there a backup in case of disasterous loss?

John,
For future refernce the ftp.squeak.org ftp site it now maintained by the
Website Team. I've CC'ed them and hopefully one of them (maybe even
Bruce who is a member) will take care of this. You might want to
consider becoming a member yourself and taking direct responsibility for
the Mac specific section of the FTP site. I expect that they would
welcome you.
