STIC should follow Ruby's lead

There has been some work lately on the STIC web site, and some work on a new logo etc to help promote Smalltalk. I was just looking around today and found the new Ruby website. They had a link to an in-browser interactive demo that let you try out ruby through a web app in your browser. No download, no install, just completely easy. I don't know what the funding situation is like, but commissioning someone to create a seaside application that lets you do the 15 minute Smalltalk tutorial, and demonstrates seaside's ability to make a really nice website with all the fancy Ajax stuff, and work with the back button would be well worth the money if you want to get people to try the language. Check out the demo here.
