Hi,

One of the long standing complaints about squeak has been the 
squeak.org website has gotten out of date. 


One proposal is at http://edoneel.chaosnet.org/squeak/index.html.

Some comments:

- This is an attempt to make a minimial website, ie, let's 
keep to an absolute minimum the bits that have to be directly
maintained and push most of the maintenace off to the squeak 
swiki.  This means that, basically, the web site will only be as
good as the Swiki, so, keep that swiki up to date.  I'm leaning 
very hard towards the idea that squeak.org should be one web page.


- I tried not to overload the page with too many links.  I may not
have succeeded.  While a large chunk of the squeak community are
programmers, not all of us are.  Unlike ruby-lang.org, perl.org, 
python.org, et al which are aimed at programmers we need to appeal
to a broader group.  Ergo the proposed squeak.org is less (I think)
busy.

- Yes, I borrowed the Mozilla Europe stylesheet.  I think I can do
that, but, if not, the look can be changed.  It's all CSS.
Blue seems like a reasonable squeak color.

- The wording of all of this is subject to change.  I am alleged
to natively speak some form of English, but I sure can't write it.

- Since I'm alergic to wearing all black, I'm obviously not a designer
either.  Apparently some real black dressed designer people will have
a go at the design and try to make it better.


If you've already commented and I seem to have ignored your 
comment, could you send it again?  I didn't ignore it, I just
got overloaded.

And finally, I wanted to put a pointer to Tweak, but, tweak is
too common a name and therefore I couldn't find a good web page.
Could someone point me in the right direction there?

If someone would like to make a good "other big projects with squeak"
page on the swiki I'd also like to point to that.  The current 
other projects with squeak is just a bit too big.

thanks!

cheers

bruce
