Thanks for the prompt response, Laurie!

By giving common sense feedback, as with the OOPSLA paper.
We need good new examples to explain the design, and also
to demonstrate why AspectJ is currently deficient.

Obviously myself, and I think most of the full-time abc-ers
(Pavel, Julian, Neil and Elnar) could be persuaded, but we'll
rely on you to produce a first draft :-)

I do not think it's reasonable to ask Sascha to play an important
role beyond giving advice - if he's willing, all well and good, but we
have to respect his decision to leave research for now.

I believe this is pretty important to get more users.
Ondrej, are you perhaps game to do part of the tutorial?
Submitting it is not a lot of work, I think.

Yes, I also have a feeling it links to the recent stuff by Mooly and
friends on shape analysis. Can you perhaps suggest some papers you think
relevant for the reading group?

Super!
