Regarding specific parts of the page, Those Google search boxes look really weird to me, and I would never think to come use them. Would there be a way to put those as drop-down choices on some search box at the top of www.squeak.org? that is how several other sites do it. Or just put a search box up there that searches the website, the Swiki, SqueakPeople, the mailing lists, and (maybe) the IRC logs.
A few more changes: - I removed those search boxes from the documentation page. - I also re-organized the top few sections, merging the video, book, and tutorial list into a "Useful Resources" heading. - Added the "Discovering Better Code Series" as a top-document, as it was particularly useful today, as someone was looking for a document on exactly that topic - Moved the link to http://squeak.joyful.com/Sites to the "Community" page - Replaced links to irc and the mailing list with a single link to the Community page
Still to be done: - figure out what to do with the links at the bottom of the page. Especially the link to squeaknews.com. I am examining that site to see what is there; unfortunately, my system is not able to mount their zipped ISO images right now, due to some error with my /dev/loop device. - Move the section "Exploring the code" onto a dedicated wiki page. I am sure an appropriate page exists, but I need to go to bed.
My goal for this page is to be able to point to it as "the" place to direct anyone unfamiliar with squeak able to operate the system. More specifically, I am about to start a Seaside tutorial, and I want to be able to assume that the reader is already familiar with Squeak. I would like to justify that assumption with only one link: http://www.squeak.org/Documentation
How well does the page meet that criteria? Is it a valid criteria? If so, should the page be renamed "Getting Started" ?
The doc team should probably move most of those links off the website and put them into a bigger, easier list on the Swiki, kind of like I did with the tutorial list.
Still todo.
