Well, if we look at your demo we see just a typical Pier install, 
without Squeak website design. That's important because it took me most 
of Sunday migrating design of the website, not content.

Most if not all promised "soons" were fullfiled last days, so this gives 
quite some certainty that other soons will be too. Also, Biart as a 
precedesor of Scribo is in commercial use from 2003, therefore at least 
as Pier if not more. Another certainty.
