Macintosh carbon VM 3.8.18b1
by John M McIntosh 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi, could I get the 3.8.18b1 macintosh carbon VM bundled with the current macintosh download, plus have any pointers to older versions updated on the website. I guess the only place to update is ftp://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/mac which currently has a 3.8.15 version. On the http://www.squeak.org/Download page likely it should read * Mac "MacOSX (Universal)" since the VM is universal build meaning PPC and MacIntel > I've pushed a 3.8.18b1 VM to my ftp site and to my idisk via > > http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html > > This VM includes David T Lewis' changes for 32bit clean memory oop > address workm which is the most important VM work done in the > last year or so.

would like to push new version of /SqueakLicense
by Craig Latta 24 Jul '07

Hi-- I notice that www.squeak.org/SqueakLicense doesn't match wwwtest.squeak.org/SqueakLicense, and I have some changes to make to that page (I made them on wwwtest). Please let me know if you don't like what I put there (a link to http://netjam.org/squeak/contributors and some prose tightening). I'll put the changes on the real website in a day if I don't hear concerns. thanks, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist www.netjam.org Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)]

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the Documentation page should link to the best documentation at the top, and only later point the user at the heap of out-of-date stuff.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

http://www.squeak.org/Foundation/SupportSqueak/ Obviously this is not obvious enough. Maybe it's time for banner or column ads (for internal purposes only) on Squeak.org?
