You might know that the ESUG website has a page where companies are listed that use Smalltalk in some way:
https://esug.org/companies.html
A problem of course was that the list got out of date quite quickly.
We now have improved it:
- there is a form to add a new company
- the contact person will get a link to update the infos at any time
- the system sends a mail every year to the contact to remind to check if the data is still current
- website is rendered directly from the data
The current page still has a simple rendering: all companies alphabetically.
But with the data we will be able to improve this step by step.
Future:
- nicer page, e.g. with company logos
- check links regularly (and send mail in case it is broken)
- interactive map
For now, the page contains both the new and the old list, with the idea of removing the old entries eventually.
