I thought about it yesterday and I would say, that it would be better to
write a kind of manual like it PHP has. This would allow easy
multilingual support, search and a kind of documentation where a newbie
feels at home. Many of the people I know say that smalltalk doesn't have
the ability to integrate in the outside world a little bit. So let's
start here by showing them something they know.
There was squeakdoc.org why is it closed ? Who did it ? This would be a
great starting point, wouldn't it ?

At first we can integrate existing documentation. It should also be good
to document the ANSI Standard and point out the differences to squeak. I
would put my time in this if you all agree.
