Steve Waring seems to have dissapeared off the face of the internet since
about September of last year (Children? Job? Illness?)

Anyways, the Dolphin community sources/links are extremely fragile at best.
I'm _still_ finding new Dolphin sites where pac files have been published.
Dolphin Harbour seems to be one example of something done right, but it has
stagnated!

The OA wiki is locked down, so what should be the mother source of
information is stagnate aswell. Which leaves the news groups as really the
only place where there is a flow of information about Dolphin. I hate news
groups!

Andy, are you guys looking at re-addressing this problem? I guess some would
look at it as Marketing. Perhaps a few of the OA team members should get
some sort of blog going (and keep them going) as a way to drum up some sort
of information flow from within. Having Blair do a daily snippet or
something could be good. Or even yourself, or anyone.

There are are so many broken links into the OA site too. I don't really care
about it, but plain old 404 messages just look like shit. Someone should
spend 2 hours and write some sort of intelligent 404 handler for your site
"Sorry the page is gone, but the content it contained is found
[link]here[/link]". 404 errors from within Dolphin look _really_ bad, (And
thats going to be happening on the evaluation version!)

Has anyone else got anything like Dolphin Harbour going?

The Smalltalk community in general is hard to traverse. There is so many
broken links, and so much dead content. Someone needs to clean it up. People
interested in Smalltalk may not even last long enough to find a version of
Smalltalk worth using like Dolphin for example.

"Yeah I tried GNU Smalltalk. No idea what the fuss is about..."
