<dt>Squeak Tweaks: Celeste as a Mailing List Summarizer <span class="by">by Bijan Parsia</span></dt>
<dd>In this corner of the e-zine, Bijan will show us how to tweak Squeak with interesting insights.</dd>
<dd>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!</dd>
<dt>Squeak Documentation Initiative</dt>
<dd>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.</dd>

<dt>Focus on Beginners</dt>
<dd>Starting with this issue we will focus on beginners and every issue of Squeak News will feature at least one article targeted at beginners. This month we feature two articles that would help beginners. You will also find in this issue very interesting articles about hardware that can run Squeak, a very interesting user interface framework for UI development specifically tailored towards PDAs and Kiosk style applications. The Squeak Tweaks corner will feature a quickie HTML editor. For the diehards who are determined to rip the operating system under Squeak the current installment of the SqueakNOS series is "Story of the Quake Packet". You will also find the conclusion of the Juggling article and continuation of our in-depth interview with John Maloney.</dd>
<dt>Squeak Related News</dt>
<dd>This month's news include summaries of the activity of the Squeak list and the Squeak foundation list and our report on fun new hardware to play with Squeak</dd>
<dt>Monthly digest of the Squeak Mailing list <span class="by">by Bijan Parsia</span></dt>
<dd>Every month Bijan summarizes the Squeak mailing list painstakingly by organizing postings under threads with commentary using home-bred tools that he developed. (and explained some of them in the July issue) If you are busy and can't follow the fast pace of the Squeak list this is the column to read! This section will be emailed to our email subscribers as well as posted on the on the web.</dd>
<dt>Mean Squeak Machines</dt>
<dd>In these articles we chase our DynaBook dreams and look at some of the latest systems from super PDAs to desktop units that can run Squeak happily.</dd>
<dt>Cool Peripherals</dt>
<dd>We also investigate some peripherals that can enhance our Squeak experience from tablet-screens to solid-state USB disk units that are attached to key-rings.</dd>
<dt>How to Begin Squeak <span class="by">by Tansel Ersavas</span></dt>
<dd>This article is the first of a series about Squeak that aims to take a person from the beginner stage to the level of a highly sophisticated programmer during the course of this (long) series. In this article, Tansel outlines basic concepts of object oriented approach and Squeak. He emphasizes differences between Squeak and most other languages, explains why it is harder for people who have been exposed to other languages to learn Squeak and suggests strategies that would accelerate the learning process.</dd>
<dt>An Approach for Teaching and Learning Squeak <span class="by">by Michael Guenter</span></dt>
<dd>Michael brings us the experience of a teacher and proposes an approach for learning and teaching Squeak. He defines different kinds of newbies and discusses best approach for them and elaborates on his "study buddies" idea which has already attracted interest.</dd>
<dt>Control your Submorphs <span class="by">by Ted Kaehler and Andreas Raab</span></dt>
<dd>In this active article Ted and Andreas take us to a tour of the new layout mechanism of morphs recently introduced to Squeak by Andreas Raab. As nicely stated by Ted: "Why talk about something when you can see it in action", this article will come to life when playing with it very true to the soul of Squeak News.</dd>
<dt>The second part of an In-depth Interview with John Maloney</dt>
<dd>In the second part of this in-depth interview, John talks about the Apple days, the birth of Squeak, how Squeak became on open source project, and how his expectations were exceeded with community support. We also discussed with him about the past life of Morphic before Squeakt.</dd>
<dt>A Minimal User Interface Toolkit for PDAs and Kiosks <span class="by">by Tansel Ersavas</span></dt>
<dd>In this article Tansel introduces us to a very basic set of tools that help us implement simple user interfaces especially suitable for point and click applications. These applications are more likely to be useful on environments where using Morphic is not feasible such as small PDAs and Kiosk applications that operate on hardware with limited resources and where the input is limited to a touch screen or stylus input.</dd>
<dt>Story of a Quake Packet <span class="by">by the SqueakNOS team</span></dt>
<dd>Do you know what these naughty people at the SqueakNOS team do when their workmates go into a frenzy of playing Quake?

<dt>Squeak for a Better World!</dt>
<dd>We changed our theme to Squeak for a Better World after the tragic events of September 11. Read all about the shock, frustrations and ideas about Squeak for a better world.</dd>
<dt>Focus: Multimedia</dt>
<dd>There is a lot in Squeak News this month. Close to the end of this month is the 5th anniversary of the day Squeak was placed on the Internet for the rest of the world to enjoy and we e-talked with Dan Ingalls about this most important event. The focus of this issue is Squeak and Multimedia and we have a significant amount of content about the subject. We feature two interactive demos: Squeak Cinema: A demo of the Squeak MPEG player, and SqueakAmp: The Squeak MP3 player. In addition we feature an article about the MPEG player of Squeak by John McIntosh, the full set of the active essays on studying computer music by Mark Guzdial and an article about PhotoSqueak by Juan Manuel Vuletich. Karl Ramberg's contribution is a short active essay about Art and Computers. Our beginners series focus is objects, messages and beyond. An example of system level programming in Squeak is given in the article "The SqueakNOS keyboard". We also solicited an article about one of the recent developments about Squeak GemStone connectivity and we are happy to feature this article about GemSqueak.</dd>
<dt>Squeak Related News</dt>
<dd>This month's news include an E-view with Dan Ingalls, summaries of the activity of the Squeak list and John McIntosh' Essen STUG reports.</dd>
<dt>Squeak's 5th Birthday! An e-view with Dan Ingalls</dt>
<dd>After looking at all the evidence we decided that the 25th September 1996 was the day Squeak was unleashed to us mortals (incidentally after about 9 months of incubation)! We declared this day to be Squeak's "birth" day. We asked Dan about that day, a little earlier, and a little later, and Dan answered!</dd>

<dt>The World of Squeak: Objects, Messages and Beyond <span class="by">by Tansel Ersavas</span></dt>
<dd>This article is the second installment of a series about Squeak that aims to take a person from the beginner stage to the level of a highly sophisticated programmer during the course of this (long) series. In this article, Tansel explains the basic concepts of Squeak such as objects, messages and relationships between objects.</dd>
<dt>Active Essays for Studying Computer Music <span class="by">by Mark Guzdial</span></dt>
<dd>If Mark Guzdial isn't an institution, he should be made into one. Author/instigator/editor of the two current Squeak books, hacker of PWS & the original Swiki, hoster of Swikis, teacher of Squeak... He, his students, and his classes are always throwing out cool stuff for the rest of us. For his class on "Computer Music Implementation", he wrote a series of active essays, which cover everything from the built in Squeak sound tools to MIDI. Aside from being nicely written/constructed on interesting topics -- i.e., an enjoyable read -- they are great examples of active essays. Mark was kind enough to let us feature the entire series in Squeak News with a bonus introduction that puts these great active essays in perspective.</dd>
