I use guile-oops-0.1.3, so perhaps there is something newer and I
might be outdated.  But for this version the documentation is very
sparse.  For example, I was rather astonished that the hint with the
method "initialize" which Marius gave me recently (thank you, it
worked perfectly - where did you know it?) was not documented.

Now, I am quite fascinated by CLOS (but not a LISP expert).  Thus, if
Christian Lynbech (or someone else) hints me at places where I could
gather documentation (hopefully not only "read the code" ...)  and
answers several questions I would try to improve and complete the
documentation ...

Yours, Niko.
