Hi,
I have a long and a short story. The short story is

*The BabyIDE image in now back on Mendeley**
**https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/5xxgzv7fsp/1*
<https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/5xxgzv7fsp/1>
I have also written a user guide for all the programs in the image.

I'm working on making both files available on the Squeak website (on 
GitHub).

Cheers
Trygve
