J's documentation: msg#00189

Subject: J's documentation

J's reference documentation is terse, and dense.

I think this is a good thing (reference works should
focus on core issues, and not waste a person's time
with introductory material), but people also need
introductory material.

We have a variety of books out there, introducing
various audiences to J (Henry Rich's book is a
classic example). Perhaps some people feel that
they are a part of some different audience -- one
that would find another approach more interesting?

If so, perhaps we could fruitfully pin down the
character of this audience (or these audiences?).
