    There's quite a bit on the ColdC language itself, on the web pages.
    ColdCore does need a lot of more documentation, but it's being worked
    on :). Writing help files in Cold that work both on-screen and
    through a web interface is fairly easy.  I wrote a small introduction
    to starting with ColdCore a long time ago, and don't mind suggestions/
    improvements.

    I use both MOOs and Cold, and find uses for both. I think
    that Cold is looking far ahead, to the problems that will be faced
    in a hypertext environment, and takes a long-term view of expanding
    what a virtual environment is capable of... it's also a prettier language.

    In terms of the future of MOO, I'm afraid that it'll splinter soon
    if a minor update doesn't appear (such as 1.8.0p6). And if the
    'verbed properties' camp is one of those splits, who
    knows what might resort (insert lots of smilies for humor).

    For a bit of a personal announcement, I'd like to invite people
    over to Dreamwheels MOO, an Urban Fantasy roleplaying environment
    with an emphasis on storytelling, including workshops/discussions
    on writing. It's been in development for a year and a half now...
    we're working on developing a 'history' and myths for the city...
    help would be welcome. It's a shadowfax.rh.ncsu.edu 9000.
    I'll leave news of the Cold world for a different list. :).

    Chuck
