This is all so true..  Even at work, where we are only a few, the wiki
takes a lot of effort to keep up to date.

Well, I knew this was coming from the moment I decided to start typing
:-) As a matter of fact, it is the reason why I held back so long!

As I mentioned in another post, I only get only a few precious hours
to devote to Smalltalk, so somebody else will have to organize this
for the time being. I'll try to update wiki pages as I see them,
though.

Alright, I joined that list too, no need to twist arms! :-)
