I only had a brief chance to look at it this morning, but the English looks 
fine. I like the idea of this page a lot -- very helpful!  However, if this 
much knowledge really needed to get started with E? If so, how should the 
design of E be improved to reduce this burden?

Yes! There's also a list of papers and talks at <http://erights.org/talks/> 
that should be converted.

As for the Ode and the draft serialization paper, it would be great for these 
to move into the wiki itself -- probably using the same subpage technique used 
for Walnut.

The draft serialization paper may be the right first experiment in 
collaboratively editing a draft paper towards publication. I wonder what the 
proper attribution should be on a paper authored in this way?
