In several discussions in tunes I have felt the to talk at some length
so all of the participants could catch up to the conversation.  It is
quite wastefull to waste these summations on one time shots that a
maillist discussion affords.  

Therefore I propose we start putting up quick summaries in html on the
WWW page of ideas and concepts that are important to tunes or come up
often.   Basically these should be quick primers or answers to
questions not yet asked, similiar to FAQ's but with a different slant.

Topics I'll start with are
Garbage Collection  --- I already have a start in tunes-lll
Basic Ideas of Functional Languages --- To explain continuations,
                                        closures and similiar 
A personal 4 language --- to help seperate the chores of languages


Discussion for refinements to this rough idea are welcome.
