i suggest a Terse Guide to Squeak distinct from the existing Terse Guide to
Smalltalk.
this should include everything in the All-In-One not in the Terse Guide
including;
1) What the Resources bundles are; why and how to use them
2) How to use common peripherals like internet, Webcam, Audio, printer
3) How to write .Windows dll's and Linux equivalents to interact with Squeak
4) How to use Squeak on a network with multiple computers and cores
5) How to package an application for deployment i.e. without Halos etc.
6) Interacting with other software and their file formats like .dxf, .pdf,
docx
7) Advanced topics like moving from interpreted Smalltalk to.exe Smalltalk
for size and speed.

Although forum availability of answers is appreciated, it is a lid on
productivity compared to having 90% of the answers in a Terse Guide.  It
would improve the existing Terse Guide to make it possible to copy examples
to try out instead of just showing them.

My interest is currently developing a robot controller in Squeak, which
will require much of the above.  i am aware there are at least two complete
robot systems online in C++ and a toy robot system in Squeak but I'd prefer
to do a real robot with Squeak as my robot operating system. But i need
real access to code such as a tutorial on hooking up OpenCV or how to write
my own video contour program to attempt video object identification and a
like tutorial on working with Audio to recognize speech, which most
software still does not do well.

I'll need a balance system that can do this.  It may cross the line between
a toy robot and a real robot.
