One more change: I put Stephan Wessel's excellent tutorial at the
very top of the page.

I punted on this issue. I deleted the rest of the page and put
it at http://wiki.squeak.org/493 . Except for the books and
papers, there was nothing particularly interesting on the rest
of the page. I will try to make a good book list, similar to my
tutorial list, soon.

Thanks to Stephan's new tutorial and Squeak by Example, I would
say this goal has been met. I moved the contents of the test
site to the main site
