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

The JLM documentation is sorted out so that you can easily find what you are looking for. Students wanting to use JLM to learn about programming should go to the [User documentation](User documentation). Teachers wanting to integrate JLM in their teaching and adapt the proposed exercises should go to the [Teacher documentation](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](Author documentation). And of course, if you want to hack on the JLM itself, you should have a look at the [Internal documentation](Internal documentation).
