Folks -

[I'm about to leave town]

I have incorporated the last updates I knew of (incl a couple JMM suggested that were required to compile a new VM on some platforms), have brought in an old copy of readme.txt, and have written a short word of caution to folks who should be at SqueakAlpha, not in Squeak.

I consider this final in code but not in appearance (please don't be shocked by the mess on screen).  It needs...

1.  The readme to be updated (flaps and UI prefs at least) and combined with the Getting Started text

2.  A proper statement about rights and openness from Andrew, to go in the welcome window (probably at the end)

3.  Ted to fix the SqC image whose URL appears in the welcome window, and it needs a good URL for Flash demo (suggestions??).

I have placed the latest image on UIUC as Squeak3.2gamma3.zip (I used Squeak to zip it, thanks for the encouragement).

I have spoken with Scott Wallace who says he is willing to do the final laying on of hands to finish this up.

If you have easily-implemented suggestions about the appearance of, or text to go in, the first-screen windows, please relay them promptly to Scott.

I will continue to be in touch be e-mail, though unable to do much of substance from here on.  Scott knows this stuff well, and will probably do a better job that I at putting this baby in truly final form.

Good luck, y'all...

	- Dan
