One of the things that I've been trying to help build over the last few years is a better, more connected Smalltalk developer community. There's been lots of help from others - Pete Hatch, in particular, deserves a lot of recognition for what he's done to enable a lot of the things I've been involved in. What have we set up?

• The Cincom Smalltalk Wiki
• The NC download site
• The Cincom Smalltalk Blogs - Michael Lucas-Smith deserves credit for prodding me to open the blog up to other people
• The Cincom Smalltalk Surveys
• The Smalltalk IRC channel - Give Pete Hatch most of the credit for this
• The Public Store

Of course, we still participate in other community forums - the VW Wiki, and comp.lang.smalltalk. None of this would have been possible without the active participation of Smalltalk Developers - we can set up all the forums we want, but it doesn't work unless people come - they have, and we are very pleased with the results. Is there anything else we should be doing? Let me know
