Hello all,

We're preparing a CD-ROM to accompany the up-coming book "Squeak Open
Source for Computing and Multimedia" (Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-028091-7,
due out in April, 2001) and would like to solicit contributions. The
CD-ROM will include something like to following list.

- Squeak for all known platforms, already unpacked and ready to use
- ThingLab, Siren, STP goodies, and Minnestore
- MathMorphs and FunctionPlotter
- Wonderland objects from Alice
- David Pennel's constraint system (??)
- PWS Server files
- Latest version of Comanche
- Assorted goodies gathered from various sources (which???)
- Code for generating MPW-compatible source
- The Phaidros html book, other browseable references
- The STP12/Siren "outline" files as html
- QuickTime movies of demos (??)

If you are the manager of any of these packages, or have any ideas,
code, goodies, images, screen shots, or documentation to contribute,
now's your chance!


Specific Questions:

(1) Who can supply me with a pre-built ThingLab image set up for a
novice user out-of-box experience. 

(2) Who'd like to send me the ThingLab doc web pages? 

(3) What html Squeak tutorials should be included?

(4) Who'd like to prepare QuickTime movies of and Squeak demos?

(5) How should the CD-ROM be oeganized???


If you plan to contribute anything, please include:

(1) Source code file-ins and build scripts
(2) Readme files (separate from the src, named README)
   (Include demos, walk-throughs, etc. here)
(3) Pre-built image/changes (if appropriate)
(4) VM plug-in, src code, or executable if necessary
(5) HTML description for inclusion on the web index
(6) A pretty screen dump or two (or 3 or 4) for the index
(7) References etc. not included in the book

Please DO NOT send me contributions of the form "please include
http://xxx.zip" unless that zip unpacks into a folder that includes
files named README and index.html.

Comments/Ideas are invited.
