Can I suggest something like the following (all suggestions welcome - I am 
trying to have something that is welcoming as well as something that allows 
people to jump right in and try things, and/or then go to places with more 
complete documentation like others have suggested):

Pharo+Seaside 1.0 RC1 (Title in bold if we can do this like the old Squeak one)

Welcome to Pharo + Seaside, a clean, innovative, free and open-source Smalltalk 
environment aimed at both professional and recreational programmers alike.

To get a quick feeling of what is possible with Pharo, open a browser with 
http://localhost:8080/seaside and explore some of the examples. To administer 
Seaside, this environment is configured with username: admin and password: 
seaside

If you are curious and want to view some code behind these examples, single 
click on the background of the main window, choose "Class Browser" and type 
WACounter. You can then browse the methods for the simple counter and try 
modifying some of the code, live!

If you are new to Smalltalk we recommended that you use this environment and 
follow the tutorial at http://pharobyexample.org/

Alternatively If you are interested in jumping straight into web development 
with Pharo and Seaside you can follow the tutorial at 
http://book.seaside.st/book

Finally, have fun with Smalltalk, and make sure you follow the progress of 
Pharo at http://www.pharo-project.org
