Folks,

One question that comes up is how different does the Unicon code have to be to 
have it's own version?

Clearly anything that takes advantage of a major feature of Unicon should.  But 
how about minor differences?  I think a case could be made either way.  The 
trick would not to be overwhelmed by minor differences.

An example of an entry where a small but significant difference shows up would 
be in the old Icon way to do sockets/messaging and the Unicon way as in:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/HTTP

But what if we're highlighting essentially syntactic sugar like the following?

        * local var := value
        * procedure x(y:integer)
It might be better to find one or two examples only for these where they make 
the most sense.  To date, I'm not including this a significant enough.

It might be an idea to list these (or a link to these) on the language pages:

        * http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Icon
        * http://rosettacode.org/wiki/UniconNote:  As I understand it the 
language page is not intended to duplicate language home pages or Wikipedia 
pages.  By way of example some of the better language pages are for Oz, Python, 
TCL, and J
