This has to do with learning styles. There was an interesting discussion on the vw or squeak list a few weeks ago about this.
One wants something to allow people to choose what fits their learning style in their initial contact. In addtion to Tim's susggestions, a series of videos could also be useful.

Interesting analogy given Pharo's roots in something widely (and proudly) considered a toy by its creators. However, a game is simply an entertainment medium, and it either works for you or it does not. A programming language hopefully gets a better look, and one with a free pdf book including a walk-through should be worth a noob's time.
That said, a workspace full of examples is fine with me. But I continue to think that we should point people to PBE.

The counter argument is that PBE is readily available and very well written.
It is, but I think it's well worth considering what people think in their first couple of seconds of exposure to a new product - especially something like Smalltalk where people may well be looking at it only from idle curiosity.
When I think how quickly and arbitrarily I can reject a game that someone's spent three years sweating blood over...
