Cover Page
Did you have fun with our cover page? We certainly did. A little heavy with animation, a little slow on slower machines, but still enjoyable. So if at any point you would like to return to it please feel free.
Our First Issue

Well, now you know. Read all about it in this editorial note.

The Foundations of SqueakNOS
SqueakNOS is an ambitious project that aims to strip that useless huge nappy padded underwear of computers that is called an "operating system" and replace it with a layer all written in Squeak! Here the SqueakNOS team explain how they intend to do it, what they have done so far, how they have done it, and what they aim to do.
Squeak Tweaks: Celeste as a Mailing List Summarizer
In this corner of the e-zine, Bijan will show us how to tweak Squeak with interesting insights.
In his first article Bijan takes Celeste and turns it into a mail list summarizer! He explains the need for the mail summarizer (after all he volunteered for the Squeak News monthly email summaries!) and step by step explains how Celeste is turned into a handy mail summarizer sidekick. After reading this article you will have a good idea about how he can categorize and sift through the enormous amount of email that Squeak list generates with a little help from his new Celeste-MLS!
Squeak Documentation Initiative
Squeak Documentation initiative is a Squeak News sponsored activity that will start with this issue. Here we will explain mechanisms and ask for volunteers for this initiative. The goal is to create a giant living reference manual and a reference server that any Squeak that is on the net can hook up to and access to on-line documantaion. This documentation will be in a form that can be embedded in any image and will have built in mechanisms to update itself when changes are made and post these updates to a central server or other peers. Another useful document is a user guide which will also be semi-automatically generated. Documentation swiki pages will be used to capture most additions and modifications to the documentation. More details will soon be available from the Squeak News site.
