Personally, I like watching good demo videos of systems I am not familiar with, and not everyone is familiar with Smalltalk. It's easy to set TruffleSqueak up on your machine if you like to experiment on your own. Apart from that, the README.md includes a list of blog posts and papers.

Anyway, I'd really like to know how we could improve and make it more "practical to get more info". Any thoughts or suggestions?

It's very nice to have videos and that must be a lot of work!

It's just that I like having those good old tutorials with text an few screenshots.

Thanks for the feedback! We have plans to create a tutorial soon and run it virtually during SPLASH/ECOOP'20 [1] (I have to check why the tutorial page is no longer public).

One of the problems with attempting to propagate Smalltalk culture is that when your interaction with the machine doesn't resemble interacting with a teleprinter, then a wall of text becomes a poor medium for capturing it.

Not disputing that video brings its own problems.
