Hi Michael,
Thanks. Having the links there too is not an issue, I just wanted to make
sure we were clear how they get there if we wanted to keep them. So you
would vote to remove them and replace with planet.squeak.org and
www.squeak.org.
Should we also consider any other links like the wiki or tutorials? Maybe
we should give control of those links to the web team, or just replicate the
links that are on www.squeak.org now?
I asked before but I'm not sure we ever got an answer. Should we include a
donate link for SqF?
As for removing weekly squeak articles from planet, I'm sure there are some
people that only read our articles from planet.squeak.org. I'm not sure
that it is confusing enough to want to separate the two.
Thanks,
Ron Teitelbaum
