Yeah we haven't really done anything with guides and links yet ( more pressing, mundane details ). I'd just skip them entirely and read what James has so far in the Small talks series.

We also did a presentation at Smalltalk Solutions a couple months ago.. http://vimeo.com/22084832 which has some good background info from a 'what are they trying to accomplish angle'. Its geared very much towards a smalltalk audience but others can get stuff out of it.

There is also the mailing list where we'd be happy to answer any questions.

Yeah - guides and books coming when the core Smalltalk compiler is complete - from source to bytecodes. The compiler grammar was just streamlined in the branch and will make trunk in next couple of days. There was a minor issue with backtracking which caused a big delay in parsing and now with the new grammar there is no backtracking at all. - Tight and Fast. Rgs, James.

Im also trying to drum up a little financial support so I can present Redline at ESUG 2011: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/15176
