Folklore.org is a web site devoted to collective
historical storytelling. It captures and presents sets
of related stories that describe interesting events
from multiple perspectives, allowing groups of people
to recount their shared history in the form of
interlinked anecdotes. 

The site has been developed by some of the early apple
folks and the site is itself has just apple stories on
it.

I found it after reading "Revolution in the Valley" by
Andy Hertzfeld which collects stories from the site.

Those interested taking a look a good place to start
is http://www.folklore.org/about.html .

I run in to dribs and drabs of squeaklore here all the
time and something like this site for squeak would be
welcome.

Maybe there's a folklorist out there who'd be willing
to start. 

The sites text is available under a creative commons
license. And I suspect the software is similarly
available. 

My wish is that someone here (or almost here as most
of us folk are coding types and this looks more like a
job for a folklorist) would find a way to get access
to the software already created and start a site
around squeak.

That would be the best start. Assuming the already
existing software is adaptable and available, the
focus would then be on content.

And the content would then build the larger  squeak
community.

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
