I really recomend people to try this out. The potensial is enourmous. ObjectWeb and a Squeak web browser plugin will change the way one thinks of internet.
go squeak !

ObjectWeb is a wiki where the pages are Squeak morphs. ObjectWeb pages are created by adding morphs to a PasteUpMorph. So almost anything one can create with standard morphs can added to a ObjectWeb page.
ObjectWeb was developed as a course project in an XP workshop at UIUC taught by Ralph Johnson and myself, with John Sarkela acting as our XP customer. For more information about ObjectWeb see: http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/cs497rej/ObjectWebOverview.
Or you can skip the instructions and download the change sets at: ftp://rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/whitney/XPCourse/currentBuild/ReleaseFiles/
ObjectWeb is similar to MuSwiki from Georgia Tech, but with some interesting differences. ObjectWeb uses http. As a result one can view gif versions of most ObjectWeb pages via html browsers including Scamper. There is an ObjectWeb server running at http://objectmanifold.dyndns.org:8888. All pages at that site except the CatchMike and FreeCellClientCreate demos can be views with a html browser.
We have an ObjectWeb browser running in Netscape & IE using the Squeak plugin. It makes Netscape/IE a lot more dynamic. I am headed out of town for a week and plan to put the plugin version on the ftp site when I get back.
Currently ObjectWeb only runs in Squeak 2.7. Hopefully we can get it ported to a more current version of Squeak in the fall.
