greetings the list,

The Pharo By Example book currently on the http://pharobyexample.org
was written for Pharo 1.4, which is several years old.   The community
has been working on updating the book for Pharo 4/5 [1] under the
moniker UPBE, and I wonder what its release strategy will be regarding
the http://pharobyexample.org site.

It would be good to update the existing web site to show PBE Second
Edition rather than release UPBE somewhere else leaving the old
edition in a prominent position to confuse people.  So who currently
administers the site and what are our options for updating it?    I
see the domain registrant is Oscar Nierstrasz, so I guess a lot
depends on what options Oscar is happy with.

One option... The Pharo community has focussed on using Pillar for a
lot of documentation (including UPBE) and there is a new static site
generator Ecstatic [2] which might be good to use for the site.
Github allows static web sites to be hosted under custom domains, and
provides the tools for the community to assist site maintenance while
site administrators still can control what is promoted to the
production web site.

Thoughts anyone?

cheers -ben
