Inheritance:

 * Kim 
 - seems OK
 - make big object, run code top down in context of forthcoming proto-object 
 - inherit only from classes
 - need to inherit from constant objects?
 - happy with inheritance only from classes with Java-ish semantics
 - classes as objects - found that handy, makes it easier to import & rename

 * Andrew
 - need MI to combine dialects
 - doesn't have a consistent semantic story
 - suggests rewriting obejctdraw in minigrace using delegation 

Andrew's What Shall We Tell The Children went to MASPEGHI' 2013
  ** James will draft an outline of an essay ** 
  ** Kim & Andrew talk about re-doing objectdraw ** 

* OOPSLA main track - Due 25 Mar 
* Inheritance Essay - Due 	Thursday 2 April
* ECOOP workshops - Due Thurs 2 April
* DLS - Due 7 June 

** Other stuff **

Andrew needs stuff running by 30 March

Andrew had questions about indentation:
 - if a brace is on a line with other stuff, it can fall anywhere
 - code is only allowed on the same line after an opening brace if the brace is closed on that line
