While this perhaps would be a good thing, as one should expect the INRIA people to be able to present their work in a reasonable and balanced way, I'd think it's more their duty to work on the compiler than to do merchandising on non-scientific channels. Especially as Wikipedia is, well, Wikipedia. I think they are busy enough doing that kind of work for research grants, say. > and a link (just one) to the ffconsultancy.com is not > problem is there are many other links even it is a firm. Yes, sure. I would not have minded a single link, say to Jon's book (even though it might be considered bad taste if he had placed it of his own), on that one Wikipedia page, but if things go so badly out of proportion, that's a completely different issue. -- regards, tf@cip.physik.uni-muenchen.de (o_ Thomas Fischbacher - http://www.cip.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~tf //\ (lambda (n) ((lambda (p q r) (p p q r)) (lambda (g x y) V_/_ (if (= x 0) y (g g (- x 1) (* x y)))) n 1)) (Debian GNU)
