+1 For sure. Leo is a "new generation" literaterate programming
tool that is well worth looking into. I think we would learn
a lot about Axiom if we were to set up a Leo environment of
building Axiom.

++1 Double for sure! :) I would very much like to continue to
explore this possibility :( if I ever find some more time ):
To put it crudely in the vernacular of the current generation:
"We don't need no stink'n 2000 page book! We're web connected."
Seriously, I think the web (the whole web, not just what fits
on your desktop) is the only technology that can solve this
sort of problem at the "peta-scale" that, as Tim has suggested,
is nearlly here already. Unfortunately we are only just being
to learn how to build such systems.
