So I have finished  the second chapter , but, there is a sub section about
Squeaksource which I don't think many people use anymore , will you keep
this as it is ? Cause I was thinking maybe deleting that part and talk
instead about Smalltalkhub.

For the time being I have ported Squeaksource part as it is.
