I have implemented only very rudimentary languages, and no operating
systems, though I have studied quite a few of each. Here's my response
to the poll:

*********** Identity ***********
** Name:                 Justin Sampson
** E-Mail address:       hoperift@armory.com
** Physical address:     changing soon; Santa Cruz, California, USA
** Birth date:           6 September 1977
** Network capabilities: any and all, somehow or another
** Work/Study situation: in transition

*********** Computer Background ***********
** computer languages fluently spoken (in order of decreasing interest):
     Ada, ABC, Oberon, Pascal, Java, ix86 assembly, BASIC, C, C++
** languages I'd like to know:
     anything I can find (the list above is only the languages that I've
     actually used--I've studied many more)
** The languages I'd like Tunes' HLL to be like:
     I'm for whatever is appropriate
** Date of subscription to the project:
     13 March 1996
** political *computer* opinions:
     I try to avoid anything political
** Architectures/OS combination I can work on:
     Pentium/Win95 (I'm embarrassed to admit)
     I also have access to a Pentium/SCO UNIX system

*********** Parts of the system I'm ready to develop: ***********
   HLL guides all other development, and Review feeds HLL; so those two
   subprojects must be granted the highest priority. Implementation is
   secondary.

*********** Project Management ***********
** How much I am available: a few hours per day
** How I think the project could be organized and managed better:
     People seem frustrated by a lack of clear plans and goals. I think
     that all efforts should be focused on the HLL definition for now,
     to at least give a clearer short-term goal. 
** How often I read the WWW pages: daily
** How I think they could be improved: more involvement from members!
** Sub-project I'm ready to manage: perhaps Review
** How I think the poll could be enhanced: seems fine
