Welcome to the PLM wiki! We hope that you will find here the information you are looking for (and that you will contribute the missing ones :)

The PLM documentation is sorted out so that you can easily find what you are looking for. Students wanting to use PLM to learn about programming should go to the User documentation. Teachers wanting to integrate PLM in their teaching and adapt the proposed exercises should go to the Teacher documentation. If you want to create new exercises, setup new universes alongside with buggles, turtles and sorting, you should turn to the Author documentation. And of course, if you want to hack on the PLM itself, you should have a look at the Internal documentation.
