hello,
I have read the "blue book" ("Smalltalk-80: The Language and Its
Implementation" by
Adele Goldberg and David Robson) and most related material, including
the original Byte magazine article when they first came out. I have
been following Squeak and Spoon development too. I have read the
current draft of your Spoon book. You have articulated exactly the
problems I see in Squeak development. I am looking forward to your
book. The "blue book" is one of the best books to use as a model for
how to write a technical documentation book. Some of the early "Apple
Books" are too. I wish you good luck with Spoon and the Spoon Book.
You are exactly on the right track. What the Squeak-Smalltalk-Object
System needs is a "Linus Torvalds" to organize a community toward
these goals.
my wish list:
easy to get. easy to Install. a "module" system. easy collaboration by
developers and lay people. "object web services" based. website
documentation, tutorials, forums, etc, based on any good linux distro.
(gentoo?). "Spoon No Operating System". "Small Form Factor Portable
Hardware" for ubiquitous computing.

it has been envisioned. There are a whole lot of us waiting for it.
