Well, this is the point where the community of CL-HTTP users could help the
developers. A FAQ would be good. But with such a cool tool as CL-HTTP we
could do something better. If you have seen CL-HTTP "applications" section
with references to several real systems you may notice our InterBook system
which is a shell for developing adaptive Web-based courses. It is used now
in CMU and UTS. A course produced with InterBook offers a number of nice
things such as intelligent help, adaptive navigation support, or concept
based navigation.
So, if there anyone who would volonteer to make a CL-HTTP tutorial, we
would be happy to provide any assistance with using InterBook. In fact, it
could be a solid student research work.
