At first I wasn't sure where M. Roberts got the idea that the squeak.org
site hadn't been updated since 2000, but now I see that when you click
on the "ABOUT" link on the left, you see the "Where is Squeak Headed?"
and "Entering 2000" (and 1999 and 1998) sections, which are over two
years old. GET RID OF THIS STUFF NOW, please... it does more harm than
good.
These particular pages, which are prone to becoming out of date, don't
need to be in static pages. This (now historical) information is on the
Swiki if someone really wants to dig around for it. It seems that the
rest of the squeak.org site content is relatively immune to becoming out
of date, so the rest is okay. (Except for the download page, which we
need to keep up to date, obviously.)
