Thanks Max for the effort!

I can change the entry on seaside.st but I don't know how I'd refer to the SqueakMap entry (or are you suggesting to edit the Quick Install script to reference SqueakMap? That would also be good, I guess. Still, I wouldn't know how).

It's here: https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak.org/blob/master/_projects/seaside.md

It's worth noting that they are there and will need updating if/when anything changes. The install-for-squeak link in seaside.st leads to that squeak.org page. It might be better to refer to the SqueakMap entry?
