Hello All,
This is your monthly News report for June 2008.
First, I must apologise for the lack of a report for May. I was in the
process of moving from Scotland to Switzerland, and things got a bit
hectic last month!
The purpose of the News Team is to publish news regarding Squeak and
Smalltalk development and use. It aims to provide a service to the
Squeak community, highlighting anything which Squeak users may find
interesting in The Weekly Squeak newszine. It will also try to promote
Squeak and Smalltalk outside its own community, by submitting articles
and news items to mainstream websites such as Slashdot and OSNews.
We had 17,545 direct page views for the month of June. This is
substantially up from May's figure 14,836, and twice as many page
views as for the same month last year!
In total, eleven articles were posted. Our top three articles were
