Does J have doxygen syntax to aid coders in documenting their code?
general/jod looks good, but appears database-oriented rather than in-source
doc.

Is there a J-to-English translator?
format/publish is not it.
primitiv.ijs has a great dictionary.
A J-to-primitiv translator would make learning quicker for newbies like me.
The idea would be to offer a quoted copy of a J phrase to the translator
which would then spell it out in primitiv English.
It could also take a filename and translate it into primitiv.
It could generate multi-line output showing right to left as up to down.
Perhaps it could output them as "NB." lines with doxygen assist.
Perhaps the J interpreter should have a document mode
to pretty-print what a phrase would do in primitiv language.
That way, all current ijs files could be run through document mode
accelerating newbie learning.

web/jhp looks good,
but the openGL presentation is broken on linux and windows Mozilla and IE.
I plan to install jhp, but request it be fixed.

The vim J syntax highlighter installation instructions are spare and not
cross-platform.
I want to use it on at least linux and windows, but haven't yet succeeded.

I would gladly volunteer to write and/or fix these, but
being so new to J I would probably make a mess of it.
