squeak-dev friendly for newcomer

Squeak-dev is very friendly for newcomer to Squeak. I use it to invite
people to join on DrGeoII development.

One think could make it even more user friendly: turning on the "_
conversion to :=" preference by default.

Of course for Squeak experts who prefer using _ , changing back the
preference will be easy, far more easier than it will be for newbie.

This preference does not change the way the method is saved, only the
way it is displayed. I think it can be interesting to turn this on.
What do other think?

And automatic transcription is like a keyboard shortcut, a concept which  
we all are used to.
