A long time ago someone pointed us to this site (https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/smalltalk/). There was an entry for smalltalk that was basically just a variant of the terse guide help page we have in the HelpBrowser.
I made some attempts to update it ages ago and ... it drifted. Finally last week I got an email from someone that looks after the site and we got a slightly updated page installed. It still needs plenty of work. Not least in getting the formatting cleaned up.
Anyone that can spend a little time to improve it and do the magic dance to request updates would be doing us a service. Once it's actually a good page (as opposed to a 'not absolutely terrible one) we might consider linking to it from squeak.org.

The page looks very good right now. I can't say that I was familiar with learnxinyminutes.com, but it seems like a handy reference site.
