I've got a bit of a... query I guess...

I'm quite interested in learning about how COLA works.

Is this a candidate interest for COLA itself? Is this one of the goals of the 
FONC group? To avail the learning of others? Or is only directed at children? 
As far as I can see, it'd be incredibly useful if at any point, whatever system 
FONC is building could be self-documenting to the point that anyone interested 
or curious could learn about things in them themselves.

Am I correct that COLA is a boostrapping language whose aim is to allow other 
language "descriptions" to be plugged into it so that it can essentially run 
and translate code between itself and anything? Would it not therefore also be 
useful to have documentation in the process availing anyone who was 
sufficiently interested to learn any depth of the system they wished to learn 
to?

I know there's a large amount of really useful and powerful knowledge locked 
away inside the brains of the people working on this project, and I'm 
interested in opening it out to some degree and learning from it. Hopefully the 
pedagogical efforts of whatever system(s) being built don't(/doesn't) only 
cater to children.

Julian.
