Hi everyone,
I hope this isn't going to spark a storm of controversy.
In the past, when I first started using Oz, one of the main problems I
had was with the documentation. Lets say some of it wasn't as clear as
it could be for 'newbies' and there was a lack of clear 'real-world'
examples.
I know there's a few examples around if you look hard enough but I
still believe it would be beneficial for new users (and possibly more
experienced ones) to have examples/explanations available directly in
the Mozart documentation; particularly snippets from the user archives
to save searching the archives each time or having similar questions
asked repeatedly.
It's true that there is lots of material that could be helped with
examples. If someone could start up a sidewiki then we could all pitch
in and add things.
I have lots of examples floating around from my various courses that use
Oz. Sometimes they make it into a website but often they don't (if you
haven't seen it, check out the examples on
www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/ds/mitbook.html, for example). A sidewiki would
be a way to capture them.
