My suggestion I guess is that we have many small books (jallib tutorials, extended jal ref, jaluino tutorials, etc). Also however, we should compile them all into one "Big book of jal". Does this sound good?
Seb, can you create a blank extended reference book on SVN so it can slowly be created. maybe copy the other book and change the name to something like "JAL+jallib Extended Code Reference", I am assuming we may have some small jallib examples within this reference??
