- I never applauded the most excellent addition of the 'The Worlds of 
Squeak'  project as a container and renaming those Projects.

- I prefer the new blue color for 'The 'Welcome to...'  Window

- The MovingEye Morph is great!
         - The HelpBalloon for MovingEye is perfect
         - Drop a duplicate of MovingEye in to the Supplies Flap
                 - I put him to the right of the yellow ellipse

- Rename the Object name of the Squeak Logo on the desk
         - Change it from 'FlashCharacter' to 'SqueakLogo'
         - Drop a duplicate of 'SqueakLogo' in to the Supplies Flap
                 - Ok he is a bit big ... maybe not yet
                 - MovingEye fits in there nicely though

- The 'Jump  to Projects' MenuItem  works fine however ...
         - I was surprised though with results from the Project menu 
Project Hierarchy report
         - The new Inner Worlds are not included in that report

- Please make 'Welcome To...' and 'Getting Started' windows unclosable!
         - Closing  the 'The Worlds of Squeak' window at least warns a 
NewSqueaker
         - When the NewSqueaker learns enough about Squeak to close them
                 - They have a better chance of understanding where they 
will go
         - There is no BalloonHelp for either the close or collapse buttons
                 - Hmm ... I could have sworn we had that

- The 'Getting Started' workspace
         - The collapsed window and is great and that is how it should start
         - I suggest we position the open Window a little up and to the left
                 - So the topRight is closer to bottomRight of logo

- Slide the Supplies FlapTab to the right centered under the logo
         - That moves it out of the way of the ProjectNavigation bar

- Please rename the ChangeSet from 'NewChanges' to 'New Squeakers'
         - I still prefer that NewSqueakers not be the root Project

<aside>Ok the MovingEye  watching my mouse is starting to get to me...</aside>

Cheers,
Lantz
