Hmm, interesting.

Well it is/was just a recent (#18199 update level) squeak image. I loaded Metacello via the 'quick install snippet proffered on the squea.org/project page 

Installer swasource
  project: 'SwaUtilities';
  addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello';
  install.

"Bootstrap Metacello Preview, using mcz files (#'previewBootstrap' symbolic version"
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project version: #'previewBootstrap') load.

and then went to load Seaside with the similar snippet
 
Metacello new
    configuration: 'Seaside3';
    repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
    version: #stable;
    load: 'OneClick'.

The only difference I can see with https://github.com/SeasideSt/Seaside#install-in-squeak is the last line using #load: 'OneClick' instead of #load. (As in https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak.org/blob/master/_projects/seaside.md)

Sounds sensible. Don't forget to update the entires on SmalltalkHub (and any other places you can find!) to reflect this.

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).

The squeak.org page is on github so you can do the usual edit and PR stuff. Personally, I think pointing people to SqueakMap is a better idea since that can automagically make sure Metacello is installed etc.
