[Squeak-e] What is E and squeak-e?

[shane at shaneroberts.com]

I am interested in new operating system technologies and new
approaches to software systems.

I have been looking at Forth, Plan9, Java, Python, Inferno, Hurd, 
and other systems.  Now I am reviewing Squeak and Smalltalk.

I joined the Squeak-E list because I saw a mention of capabilities 
as a security approach for Squeak or Smalltalk.

Can someone give me a little background on how this list appeared 
and what the topic is?

Thanks,
Shane
