Do you mean something like the "See Also" section of http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/greaterthan.#SeeAlso or something else?

Is the "Common uses" sections of http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/greaterthan.#Common%20uses similar to what you had in mind or did you want something else?

Or were you referring to my experiment with a "better" title on http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/greaterthan./ ?

I see it developing more continuously where changes are made in response to queries/confusion expressed on the forum as they arise, or as users come across wording/examples on the pages that they believe can be improved/extended. From time to time it might be nice to snap-shot it for use in other formats. Either way the key is to get some content! My advice to all interested is: Don't be afraid to get it wrong, put something up! If you have ideas for a Primitive page, try them out on the wiki. Changes can always be reverted, so you can't break anything!! Most people will find it easier to improve on something that is already there than to start something, so even if it ends up being replaced by something else, your contribution has helped, at least by encouraging someone else to improve/fix it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
