Now we are waiting for Ralph and Edgar to do an official announcement of the final 3.10 release.

Wessels 2008-04-17T00:38:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/956 A new back-to-Smalltalker had requests today on #Squeak for a bit better info for what is included in downloads. So basically before clicking a download, whether it be for a dev, web, croquet or other image, what is included in the download? And of course, as part of improving the new person's experience, all-included QuickStart downloads would be a potential improvement. Ken G. Brown Ken G.

Thanks to everyone who has been discussing the squeak.org website. It is our unanimous recommendation that Janko lead the web team, and continue coordinating work on the Squeak website. Our main concerns are that the site be "search engine friendly", and that content updates happen in a timely fashion. While we don't think a change in the site's infrastructure is strictly necessary to address those concerns, we like what Janko has done so far and appreciate the energy he has brought to the task. We exhausted the hour we had for the meeting before addressing Brian Rice's request (about updating the content at the current site). Sorry about that, Brian. Speaking for myself, it looks like Janko's demo is far enough along that Brian might be able to make the updates there. I'm hoping that he and Janko can come to some agreement about this. As the Teams coordinator, I'm happy to help further that discussion. Finally, the board Craig Latta 2008-03-20T00:06:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/936 Since we have some prospective new team members and leaders it's probably a good time to talk about community server issues that affect the website team. None of this will be news to existing team members but perhaps having it all together here may be of some use even to them. Backups Currently the entire system is backed up both locally and remotely via rsnapshot. The local backup is daily and we store 7 of these (1 week's worth). The remote backup is 4 weekly and 12 monthly backups. Rsnapshot uses rsync to transfer files. One aspect of this is that the granularity of the backup is on the level of a file. So in the local backup for example if there is a file on the system that changes at least once daily then each backup will contain a full copy of that file. This results in 8 copies of the file, this is minor for small files of course but can become an issue with multi-megabyte files, for example image and changes files. Bacause of this it would be really helpful if the website were to use some ot Ken Causey 2008-03-19T22:57:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/925 Dear Webteam, Has anyone here investigated/estimated the effort it would take to move to Pier? I would like to do that investigation and put together some sort of action plan. If I read the situation correctly, the biggest push for a technology upgrade is twofold: - Persistence right now is not ideal. - We need an implementation of a CAPTCHA to stop spammers from spamming via "Contact Us". What did I miss? Some people suggested the look and feel should also be considered during such an upgrade, but I don't think that is a major driver. If the Pier upgrade can be done successfully and smoothly, I would want to do an integration to http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html to stop the spammers. Next steps then: - Has anyone looked at a Pier upgrade? - Shall I just grab the current image, start playing with it test the viability of an upgrade? Danie Roux 2008-03-16T21:52:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/924 Dear Squeakers, As promised I prepared a demo of current Squeak website migrated to Aida/Scribo CMS. I migrated both design and first level of content to show, how flexible is Scribo in dealing with both different design and things like Url format in case of SmallWiki. You can see demo here: http://squeaksite.aidaweb.si:9000 Demo is actually pretty complete, what is still missing is a dynamic tree menu on the left (currently is static) and some other minor things. In any case with this demo I convinced even myself that moving Squeak website is definitively possible and it will open further improvements on content, spreading authoring to more people, adding more dynamic content, etc etc. I hope that you are now a bit more convinced that two days ago...:) Best regards Janko Janko Mivšek 2008-03-16T23:59:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/921 Dear Webteam, Has anyone here investigated/estimated the effort it would take to move to Pier?

I thought that this mailing list would be preferable to debate about my recent proposal from squeak-dev mailing list. I'd really like to hear your opinion about proposal and also critics, fears, suggestions, everything. Best regards Janko Janko Mivšek 2008-03-14T21:34:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/916 I've been Webteam leader on the Squeak website for quite a few years, and have now totally lost time to keep that work, so Mars 31 I will step down. It's been a fun and interesting experience to maintain the website, ftp and mailing list. I recommend that people interested in Squeaks web appearence join the webteam and maybe lead the site into new and exiting areas. Karl karl 2008-03-13T21:25:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/910 Hi Web Team, I have a suggestion, that maybe is a time to include Aida/Web on http://www.squeak.org/Projects/ too. As you know Aida runs on Squeak now and I'm slowly migrating to Squeak my production servers too. I hope soon the website aidaweb.si will run on Squeak instead VW :) If you agree, then I would propose to add to Web Application Development something like: AIDA/Web (http://www.aidaweb.si) is a web framework and application server for building complex web applications simply and elegantly, in MVC fashion, with REST-like nice looking and bookmarkable url links and integrated user and group management. And BTW: there is still an old SmallWiki mention, which is Pier now. Thanks very much and best regards Janko Janko Mivšek 2008-03-11T21:01:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/906 I thought 3.9.1 was preferred now. Randal L. Schwartz 2008-03-10T18:56:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/904 Perhaps I'm just being silly but I'm not comfortable with being consistently above 90% filesystem usage on box2 and I foresee a need for more filesystem space in the next few months. So I decided to remove the 6 'hourly' snapshots being made each day and for now there will just be daily snapshots (a weeks worth). As far as I'm aware Goran continues to be running his regular remote backups. While I'm on the subject another remote backup would really be nice. Requirements include 100MB+ diskspace and the ability to backup on a regular schedule (using rsnapshot/rsync). Once the election is over and the new Board is settled in I plan to make it a priority to get better connected to our current financial status so we can plan better for upgrades/etc. Ken Ken Causey 2008-03-07T21:29:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/901 do you know if there is anyway to print something from squeak.... long story, but my children made a great drawing in squeak for a school project - but neither the teacher or me can figure out how to print..... we spent hours on the picture, there has to be a way...hopefully... Barbara Costello Avaya Government Solutions 703-310-3732 Costello, Barbara A (Barbara 2008-02-28T15:44:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/897 Squeak.org has a feedback page where you can give the web site or Squeak community feedback trough the webteam mailing list. This is a quite useful feature but it is also a spam magnet and I have personally read thousands of spam subject lines for _many_ hours for this community, to filter out the few real mails that address us. I have been talking to Ken Causey about hiding the mail access behind a captcha on Squeak.org. Squeak.org is running on Smallwiki and the captcha should probably run as a Smallwiki component. Now I ask the community if someone could implement this. Please! Karl Karl 2008-02-11T15:14:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam/896 Hallo! My intent is to put together a platform which I will refer to as a collaborative end-user platform directed at work culture and the creation of work. It is to be based on a personal knowledge management platform using tools from a small group of software product owners, I have drawn together, to create the platform. I am about to publish a book in both German and English on German Unemployment. Two sites also in German and English will carry the platform and market both Book and Platform. The platform is directed towards end users being able to create a personal KM application as their "protection" against job-loss and to increase their value in today's competitive world. The core of the platform is twofold: 1. How to create a data-model covering what one wants to research and 2. How to research and write in two languages, English and German. There will be a number of additional modules and tools offered to enhance the ability to create personal KM bases. We are doing all possible in spite of Patrick Forkin 2008-01-13T13:38:04 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.webteam
