Documentation page update
by Matthew Fulmer 05 Jul '07

05 Jul '07

I am considering doing a large overhaul on the documentation page on wwwtest.squeak.org. I started by fixing the broken links on the wwwtest site which had already been fixed on the main page. I think that the Documentation page should link to the best documentation at the top, and only later point the user at the heap of out-of-date stuff. So I put links to Squeak by Example and my tutorial list at the top in nice-looking <h2> headers, and removed the Tutorials section, as my tutorial list is much better (imho). However, That is only two links on the rather large page, and they do not seem eye-catching at all. I am no web designer, so I am not sure how to fix this. Also, are there other docs we could put there that are not slightly embarrassing to show noobs? Two things that are especially nice from my collection [1] are Maarten Maartensz's Squeak pages : http://www.maartensz.org/computing/squeak/squeak_index.htm and Stephane Ducasse's Smalltalk Exercises: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Teaching/CoursAnnecy/0506-M1-OOP/OOPAvance.… Please help. [1]: My collection of Squeak stuff; most are useful: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5871 PS. I am not sure whether to cross-post this message to the doc-team list, so I did not. I am not sure if there is or should be a definable separation of duties between the two team's goals -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808

I'm going away for a few weeks of vacation without computer access so I wonder if someone on the list could do the moderation of the list for that time ? Karl

Matthew said 'squeaknews.com', not 'news.squeak.org'. ;) Ken

Suggestion for Squeak Website
by Matt Barton 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Greetings. I'm writing a book about the history of the CRPG for A.K. Peters Press, and I'd like to contact the gentlemen who identifies himself as "Werdna" on the Slashdot website. I'm convinced that this is either Andrew C. Greenberg or Robert Woodhead, either of which I would very much like to interview. I want to make sure I get the facts straight in this book, and obviously Wizardry is one of the most historically significant CRPG series. Please let me know if he'd be interested in consenting to a few questions delivered via email-or how I can get in touch with him. Thanks, Matt Barton

Web team, Doc team, and Swiki cleanup
by Matthew Fulmer 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

Cross-posted to both the web team list and the doc-team list. Sorry. In the postscript to my last message to the web team, an old uncertainty I have had for a while crept up. What is (or should be) the separate duties of the web and doc teams? By my understanding, the Web team is solely responsible for the maintenance of the www.squeak.org site. I started the Doc team, because I saw a lack of good tutorials, but mostly what I have been doing is Swiki cleanup, which seems more like website maintenance work. The other members of the doc team have been writing tutorials and screencasts, but not me. This is not really a problem until one wants to collaborate with others on a particular cleanup task. Simon Michael has said he would be interested in such a task. Perhaps Swiki cleanup could be a joint effort between the doc team and web teams, and we could host a "Page of the week/month" type focus. That seems quite on target with the web-team list, where folks gather to discuss page edits. Might that be a good idea? If so, where should it be hosted? on the web team list? the doc team list? or on the Swiki? I don't want to have to cross-post again. If there is interest, I know just where to start... ;-) -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808

Community page > Mailing List
by Matthew Fulmer 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

I replaced the Squeak mailing list page on the Swiki with a list of the most popular Squeak list, along with their mirrors on gmane and nabble: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/608 I also replaced a few links on the community page, under the Mailing List header, on wwwtest.squeak.org. Comments on both the Swiki change and the website change are welcome. -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808

Documentation page and the test site
by Matthew Fulmer 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

I was given an account to the squeak.org website in order to maintain the http://squeak.org/Documentation/ page. I also recently used my account to link to the Mailing list page on the Swiki, which I recently re-vamped (http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/608). But I also see there is a http://wwwtest.squeak.org site. Should I be making changes there and letting the webteam port them over? I am not familiar with the policy. -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808
