For consistency, these guidelines need to be used also by authors of libraries including Teachpacks, etc. These guidelines are currently being applied to all the error messages in *SL in the core distribution. Please review these guidelines and let us know if anything is unclear. We'd like to hear back from you within a week, by Fri, June 10 We have had to compromise on the description a little to make everything fit into a small number of pages, which we did because we really do hope people will print these out and put them on the wall or next to their monitor to refer to while writing code. Therefore, lengthy descriptions are out. In particular, rationale is also out. If you are curious about the rationales for any of these things, please do ask. After this is settled next week, we will send this to users@ and also to edu@ to tell instructors to follow these terms.
