Re: 3.4 press release

Note from a lurker:
 The "about" page on squeak.org has information that is three years or
more out of date ("Entering 2000"). Perhaps the press release content
could be the basis for revising this page before the publicity drives many
new viewers to this page.

 I also note that there is no mention of SqueakMap functionality in
"Features", though it is a major motivation for the 3.4 release.

I haven't heard anything back yet.=20

Just to make it abundantly clear: Accufonts replacements would be a
token gesture to Apple, it wouldn't do anything to make Squeak more free
because the Accufonts license has exactly the same problem as the Apple
fonts license.

I've given up mailing to Andrew (and Dan) on SqF/Licensing issues last
summer, after never getting responses from either one on repeated
requests. So I'm at the moment 'singlehandedly' tackling discussions
with Apple.
