[Webteam] Demo of squeak.org on Aida/Scribo ready

[Jason Rogers]

Demo Aida site looks interesting.  I agree with some of Lukas' points,
specifically change of layout when editing, non-English text, long
time to load TinyMCE.

Lukas -- you have a demo site available?

Here's another wrench in the works (by the way, I'm loving this
competition)... What about auto-translation of the site?  Squeak has
some support for translating text.

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
himself for me."
