Does anybody know who is in charge of the spanish translation? I'd like
to join.

May I suggest you to consider the translation and incorporation to SBE of some
chapters from the french book "Squeak, programmation" by Xavier Briffault?
(with his permission, of course!). I'd suggest (some version of) chapters 7 ("Le 
noyau systeme de Squeak"), 8 ("Notions avancees: application de la reflexivite 
en Squeak") and 9 ("Les processus"). Of course these chapters should be conveniently 
adapted to the overall philosophy of SBE. I'd volunteer to do it myself, but my 
knowledge of the french language barely allows me to read some technical books.
Anyway, I liked Briffault's book a lot and I think that those chapters would
add nicely to SBE. Besides, there is no english translation of the above mentioned
book, so a partial translation would make available some of Briffault's work 
to english readers.

Bests
