Hi Rosemary,

I recommend that you wait till 15th of June, when Squeak News goes online when we'll announce a documentation initiative in conjunction with the e-zine launch. We have a very extensive toolset that can generate reference manuals, user manuals, and some other interesting documentation from the image itself, furthermore it can generate swiki pages so that other people can revise and update documentation. If you are (or anyone else) want to participate in this project in the alpha phase, then please contact me privately.

Cheers

Tansel Ersavas
Editor, SqueakNews e-zine.
