(Sorry for the delay. I've been traveling.)

Hi John, I'm sure many on this list are familiar with FC++. You might
even be able to enlist help here to add some of FC++ to Phoenix. Why
don't you describe what you have in mind, or, if you have specific
questions about Proto or Phoenix, you could ask them here.

While Bartosz's articles are very interesting and educational, I don't
think they'll help you learn Proto. A better start would be the series
of articles I wrote for cpp-next.com, which start here:

Welcome,
Eric
