Hi,

I'm wondering, Ron emailed me before he emailed here, and in doing so 
reminded me that I still had that image and my outdated tutorials still on 
my personal website. I was wondering both whether anyone on here feels that 
the tutorials and image, if cleaned up, would be helpful, and if so whether 
there is a more appropriate place to put them than my personal webspace. My 
original intention had been to basically provide a Squeak answer to 
Practical Common Lisp, as you might have gathered from the image name, but 
since there is no way I'm honestly going to finish that effort soon I think 
it might make sense to merge what I've got with existing documentation 
efforts. If anyone out there has a site that's active, I'd be happy to 
donate what I have. Otherwise, I'll just merge them into the Swiki 
gradually.

Thanks for the feedback.
