Tcl??? Tcl is one of the worst language i now. And if i will choose to use
it the ME team won't accept it as we all hate tcl.

Well, I am not nuts, we are checking at ME the two options, the smalltalk
one and the python one. I have studed the issue and it seems that the full
object oreintation of smalltalk (python is not so much OO) is just what we
need 4 ME. Also, we are not going 2 use smalltalk as the language but only
as the *base* 4 the language. Also, python extenasions may be created.

This is really not true. Saying that Smalltalk is dead is as saying that
Linux is dead. Smalltalk grows in popularity every year much more then any
other language on the planet, just as linux.

Nope, i didn't designed the web site, but i surely know the guy who did it,
Martin van Velsen as i remember. I don't make this style of website as they
are slow to download. I like the simple/clean/fast & beautiful style of
websites. A good example is l.c and also the site that I have done 4
smartsystems (it looks best at 1600x1200). Also soon, I will make the site 4
the walled city project and i have done a small one 4 my homepage at
http://rilel.homepage.com
I am afraid i just don't have the time to help IGLU's site design, i am
pretty flooded with *a lot* of work. But i can some gimp graphics if it is
needed.
P.S. Again, where the next meeting is organized?
