>     Do not miss this mini E-view with Dan Ingalls about the latest move
>     of Squeak Central and future of Squeak!
> A Most Unusual Method Finder by Ted Kaehler
>     In this essay Ted takes us through the Method finder and the idea
>     behind it. Ted explains how he started writing the method finder,
>     how it works, how the symbol table is searched, how "methods by
>     example" works and how method finder handles an exhaustive search
>     without causing any damage to the system.
> Interview with John Maloney
>     Part 1: Before Apple
>     In the first part of this in-depth interview, we talked with John
>     about the early days: how he started working with Smalltalk, his
>     early Xerox days, the origins of Celeste, his experience with other
>     systems, constraint based programming, Self and the birth of Morphic.
> VMMaker - a tool to make VM making simpler by Tim Rowledge
>     In this article, Tim explains the VmMaker and the motive behind it.
>     Tim's VmMaker makes the process of generating VMs much easier. Tim
>     explains the usage of VmMaker and he states possible enhancements to it.
> The Foundations of SqueakNOS by the SqueakNOS team / Luciano Notarfrancesco
>     SqueakNOS is an ambitious project that aims to strip that useless
>     huge nappy padded underwear of computers that is called an
>     "operating system" and replace it with a layer all written in
>     Squeak! Here the SqueakNOS team explain how they intend to do it,
>     what they have done so far, how they have done it, and what they aim
>     to do.
> Squeak Tweaks: Celeste as a Mailing List Summarizer by Bijan Parsia
>     In this corner of the e-zine, Bijan will show us how to tweak Squeak
>     with interesting insights.
>     In his first article Bijan takes Celeste and turns it into a mail
>     list summarizer! He explains the need for the mail summarizer (after
>     all he volunteered for the Squeak News monthly email summaries!) and
>     step by step explains how Celeste is turned into a handy mail
>     summarizer sidekick. After reading this article you will have a good
>     idea about how he can categorize and sift through the enormous
>     amount of email that Squeak list generates with a little help from
>     his new Celeste-MLS!
> Squeak Documentation Initiative
>     Squeak Documentation initiative is a Squeak News sponsored activity
>     that will start with this issue. Here we will explain mechanisms and
>     ask for volunteers for this initiative. The goal is to create a
>     giant living reference manual and a reference server that any Squeak
>     that is on the net can hook up to and access to on-line
>     documantaion. This documentation will be in a form that can be
>     embedded in any image and will have built in mechanisms to update
>     itself when changes are made and post these updates to a central
>     server or other peers. Another useful document is a user guide which
>     will also be semi-automatically generated. Documentation swiki pages
>     will be used to capture most additions and modifications to the
>     documentation. More details will soon be available from the Squeak
>     News site.
> Fun with Squeak: Learn to Juggle with Squeak by Tansel Ersavas
>     In this article Tansel takes you to a journey that will juggle two
>     things at once: learning juggling while writing a tutorial that
>     teaches juggling. It is a meta-juggling tutorial that is a lot of
>     fun. Most aspects of juggling from choosing the right balls to how
>     not to juggle with raw eggs are clearly illustrated with animated
>     examples
> Squeak Notebook by Torsten Bergmann
>     A little example of how a SqueakBook can look like a notebook
> Best of Bob's SuperSwiki: Squeak or How the Mouse Roars
>     Each month we will feature a project published in Bob's super Swiki
>     or other public Super Swikis. This month we feature the first part
>     of Torsten Bergman's HTMR: Squeak or How the Mouse Roars' series.
> Squeak Graphics by Ali Chamas
>     Graphics created by Ali Chamas using Squeak captured the attention
>     of many people and some of these graphics were featured in web sites
>     such as flipcode.com <http://flipcode.com>. See them yourself.
> This Month's Quiz: Detecting an Alarm via Email from a Remote Location
> Tributes: Pat Caudill and Jerry Archibald
>     This month we have lost 2 Smalltalkers. Pat Caudill (1945-2001)
>     passed away June 14, 2001, and Jerry Archibald (1940-2001) passed
>     away June 22, 2001.

> Focus on Beginners
>     Starting with this issue we will focus on beginners and every issue
>     of Squeak News will feature at least one article targeted at
>     beginners. This month we feature two articles that would help
>     beginners. You will also find in this issue very interesting
>     articles about hardware that can run Squeak, a very interesting user
>     interface framework for UI development specifically tailored towards
>     PDAs and Kiosk style applications. The Squeak Tweaks corner will
>     feature a quickie HTML editor. For the diehards who are determined
>     to rip the operating system under Squeak the current installment of
>     the SqueakNOS series is "Story of the Quake Packet". You will also
>     find the conclusion of the Juggling article and continuation of our
>     in-depth interview with John Maloney.
> Squeak Related News
>     This month's news include summaries of the activity of the Squeak
>     list and the Squeak foundation list and our report on fun new
>     hardware to play with Squeak
> Monthly digest of the Squeak Mailing list by Bijan Parsia
>     Every month Bijan summarizes the Squeak mailing list painstakingly
>     by organizing postings under threads with commentary using home-bred
>     tools that he developed. (and explained some of them in the July
>     issue) If you are busy and can't follow the fast pace of the Squeak
>     list this is the column to read! This section will be emailed to our
>     email subscribers as well as posted on the on the web.
> Mean Squeak Machines
>     In these articles we chase our DynaBook dreams and look at some of
>     the latest systems from super PDAs to desktop units that can run
>     Squeak happily.
> Cool Peripherals
>     We also investigate some peripherals that can enhance our Squeak
>     experience from tablet-screens to solid-state USB disk units that
>     are attached to key-rings.
> How to Begin Squeak by Tansel Ersavas
>     This article is the first of a series about Squeak that aims to take
>     a person from the beginner stage to the level of a highly
>     sophisticated programmer during the course of this (long) series. In
>     this article, Tansel outlines basic concepts of object oriented
>     approach and Squeak. He emphasizes differences between Squeak and
>     most other languages, explains why it is harder for people who have
>     been exposed to other languages to learn Squeak and suggests
>     strategies that would accelerate the learning process.
> An Approach for Teaching and Learning Squeak by Michael Guenter
>     Michael brings us the experience of a teacher and proposes an
>     approach for learning and teaching Squeak. He defines different
>     kinds of newbies and discusses best approach for them and elaborates
>     on his "study buddies" idea which has already attracted interest.
> Control your Submorphs by Ted Kaehler and Andreas Raab
>     In this active article Ted and Andreas take us to a tour of the new
>     layout mechanism of morphs recently introduced to Squeak by Andreas
>     Raab. As nicely stated by Ted: "Why talk about something when you
>     can see it in action", this article will come to life when playing
>     with it very true to the soul of Squeak News.
> The second part of an In-depth Interview with John Maloney
>     In the second part of this in-depth interview, John talks about the
>     Apple days, the birth of Squeak, how Squeak became on open source
>     project, and how his expectations were exceeded with community
>     support. We also discussed with him about the past life of Morphic
>     before Squeakt.
> A Minimal User Interface Toolkit for PDAs and Kiosks by Tansel Ersavas
>     In this article Tansel introduces us to a very basic set of tools
>     that help us implement simple user interfaces especially suitable
>     for point and click applications. These applications are more likely
>     to be useful on environments where using Morphic is not feasible
>     such as small PDAs and Kiosk applications that operate on hardware
>     with limited resources and where the input is limited to a touch
>     screen or stylus input.
> Story of a Quake Packet by the SqueakNOS team
>     Do you know what these naughty people at the SqueakNOS team do when
>     their workmates go into a frenzy of playing Quake? They peep the
>     network activity using nothing other than their naughtier
>     collaborator Squeak! Read this captivating story of intrigue and
>     deception, and find out all about those Quake packets that lurk at
>     your network pipes while people are playing Quake!.
> Squeak Tweaks: A Quickie HTML Editor by Bijan Parsia
>     In this corner of the e-zine, Bijan shows us how to tweak Squeak
>     with interesting insights.
>     In this article Bijan has a go at a quickly put together HTML editor
>     which could be the beginning of a HTML editor liberator!
> Juggle with Squeak by Tansel Ersavas
>     In this part of this series Tansel finally puts his act together
>     (almost), both about juggling, and finishing this tutorial, and the
>     rest of the people can finally juggle. He still has to write about
>     the beautification process though.
> Squeak Documentation initiative
>     Squeak Documentation initiative is a Squeak News sponsored activity
>     that will continue with this issue. This month's initiative will be
>     discussed on our documentation SWiki later when the documentation
>     SWiki is up and running.
> Squeak quiz with surprize rewards
>     Every month, we have a question that addresses a specific problem
>     and collect all answers. We will then publish selected answers and
>     declare one as the "editor's choice". The person who sent the
>     selected solution will receive a mystery reward from us.

>     focus is objects, messages and beyond. An example of system level
>     programming in Squeak is given in the article "The SqueakNOS

> Squeak's 5th Birthday! An e-view with Dan Ingalls
>     After looking at all the evidence we decided that the 25th September
>     1996 was the day Squeak was unleashed to us mortals (incidentally

> Active Essays for Studying Computer Music by Mark Guzdial
>     If Mark Guzdial isn't an institution, he should be made into one.
>     Author/instigator/editor of the two current Squeak books, hacker of
>     PWS & the original Swiki, hoster of Swikis, teacher of Squeak... He,
>     his students, and his classes are always throwing out cool stuff for
>     the rest of us. For his class on "Computer Music Implementation", he
>     wrote a series of active essays, which cover everything from the
>     built in Squeak sound tools to MIDI. Aside from being nicely
>     written/constructed on interesting topics -- i.e., an enjoyable read

>     let us feature the entire series in Squeak News with a bonus
>     introduction that puts these great active essays in perspective.
> MPEG: Finding a Fit by John McIntosh

> >     embedded in any image and will have built in mechanisms to update
> >     itself when changes are made and post these updates to a central
> >     server or other peers. Another useful document is a user guide which

> >     been exposed to other languages to learn Squeak and suggests
> >     strategies that would accelerate the learning process.
> > An Approach for Teaching and Learning Squeak??by Michael Guenter
> >     Michael brings us the experience of a teacher and proposes an

> > A Minimal User Interface Toolkit for PDAs and Kiosks??by Tansel Ersavas
> >     In this article Tansel introduces us to a very basic set of tools
> >     that help us implement simple user interfaces especially suitable
> >     for point and click applications. These applications are more likely
> >     to be useful on environments where using Morphic is not feasible
> >     such as small PDAs and Kiosk applications that operate on hardware
> >     with limited resources and where the input is limited to a touch
> >     screen or stylus input.
> > Story of a Quake Packet??by the SqueakNOS team
> >     Do you know what these naughty people at the SqueakNOS team do when
