I would like to start having a look at MM0. 

Because I am pretty sure that at some point I will run into some metamath 
limitation for Mephistolus and I will be sorry not to have looked at what 
MM0 because I would have spent a year proving Mephistolus theorems in 
metamath and I will have to start anew with mm0, to gain access to some 
dynamic feature or more correctness/soundness.

BUT, so far looking at https://github.com/digama0/mm0 and 
https://github.com/digama0/mm0/blob/master/mm0.md has been frustrating for 
me because :
When I look at a github page/library, I expect to

a) quickly understand what it is about

I don't want to look at a parser grammar to understand what mm0 is all 
about (I am an human and not a computer).

I need (simple) examples to understand what mm0 expressions look like, if 
you make substitutions in them like in mm, how I can work with them as a 
developer

The underlying semantics of metamath zero is based on multi-sorted first 
order logic.

well, I don't want to spend 10 hours googling what this means.
I am a regular math teacher, and in 20 years doing high level maths, I have 
never ever heard of what a multi-sorted first order logic is.

Please explain to regular humans what mm0 really is (the github pages are 
intended to the 3 mathematicians in the world that work on this) and how a 
normal developer could work with mm0 (The technical specification is 
probably there ok, but we need the human explanations) 

I looked at the slides here : 
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jrh13/spisa19/slides_07.pdf and it somehow 
convinces me that I should have another look at mm0

I also had a peek of a computer screen with mm0 stuff in it (with axioms, 
..) in the video about x86 and this looked like understandable stuff about 
what mm0 looks like for a normal user


b) quickly understand what benefits mm0 has over mm

Because, If I need now to start investing 6 months of my time in mm0, I 
need to understand why this is important for me

Could someone give us a comparative between mm and mm0/mm1 ?
A table like this one (explaining the drawback, features) would be nice : 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version-control_software


c) also, under what licence does mm0 work ? 



Please don't be offended by this post. I really want to have a look at mm0 
but I haven't been able to, despite my many tries. It has been a real 
frustrating experience, sofar. I would like that to change.

Best regards,
Olivier
