Hi Blake,

Well what happened is this.  I used to try to summarize what was on
squeak-dev with little articles that really didn't say very much and mostly
pointed you to interesting threads.  I received some comments that the
longer articles were more interesting.  So I started posting some pointers
and opinions, some tutorials, interviews, and updates from around the
Smalltalk world.  The problem was the larger articles took much longer to
produce.  I still have a number of articles that I'm working on, including
two people still waiting to be interviewed (thank you for being patient).  

So although I agree that the longer substantive articles are better I think
last months virtually no articles was really sad.  I was really getting into
this Squeak being noticed thing.  I think the PR is really good for the
community.  It's clear that Giovanni and I can't do it all.

So once again I would love to hear from everyone, what would you like to see
on WeeklySqueak and ask people to PLEASE volunteer for the news team!!
