website maintenance/feedback?

Julian,excellent suggestion.
I have in the past commented the http://book.seaside.st/book book (many times
losing the comment when I later check). There are many errors in this important
book.
There is a huge body of work about Seaside that is outdated as 2.7, 2.8, 2.9,
and 3.0 have appeared without much updating of the documentation, tutorials,
blogs, wikis, etc.

I suggest that we create a wiki where we can suggest or report problems. Perhaps
with some structure are follows:
Document Name
    Author
       Web Site or link
    Chapter or page
        Description of problem, bug
           Solution or alternative - signature of submitter

For example:

    Programming with Seaside
        Alexandre Bergel
        Seaside.pdf
                Page 12
                chooseEntry -->should be chosenEntry. Fritz Schenk

        Page 14
        #registerObjectForBacktracking does not exist --> use #state
method to return Array of objects for which state of their instance variables
are kept  by Fritz Schenk

I think it would be useful to keep track of deprecated features. I have seen a
category of deprecated in some of the classes.
For example 'textInputWithCallback:' is not documented anywhere that I can find,
but is used in most texts and tutorials prior to 2008.

In this case we should state any alternate implementation and the reason for any
drops.

On the other hand, it makes sense to provide (short) introductions to Seaside
for people with different backgrounds. How does Seaside help me
- as a web developer
- as a long-time smalltalker
- as a designer
- as a development manager
- as a student
- as a startup
- when outsourcing development?
