Thank you very much indeed for this beautiful piece of work.
As someone who uses J only occasionally (on a very simple level) I
tend to forget things (despite taking notes) and have to dig in ever
so often again.
This looks a great resource easing that first step.
In the same context I've very much welcomed the recent discussion
with simple "fork" examples.
Looks like a typo:
On the "Floor" page of NuVoc, under heading "Common Uses" the first
two lines should start as
[1] Floor (and
<http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/gtdot#monadic>Ceiling
(>.)) can also be useful ...
[2] Floor (and
<http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/gtdot#monadic>Ceiling
(>.)) can be useful ...
showing the symbol for "Ceiling".

Thank you everyone for your help in finishing this (and other) pages:

This completes NuVoc, the "Accessible Dictionary" the J community started
over 2 years ago. Though I've no doubt individual pages can be improved.
Comments about this are invited from newcomers to J.
The current J Dictionary ("Voc")
http://jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/vocabul.htm
is a praiseworthy piece of work. It is concise, precise and consistent,
employing a terminology (nouns, verbs, lists, etc) that is the tersest and
least cluttered I've met in any discipline. But J newcomers tend to find it
rather dry.
NuVoc does not seek to replace it: only to offer a less demanding
alternative to Voc for J learners seeking reference material indexed by J
primitive. Each NuVoc page has a prominent pointer to Voc. This has
simplified the treatment, since it is assumed readers will progress to the
Voc page once they have grasped the essentials from NuVoc.
The point-of-access is: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/NuVoc
