Balloon calculus edit
The problem I have with your "balloon calculus" links is that I can't find out what they're about unless I download the software. Generally external links in Wikipedia should be to pages from which the viewer can learn something by reading them, without downloading software with no way of knowing until later whether it is informative or not.

Hi, sorry if I broke the guidelines, which I did try to scan before having a go, but obviously not carefully enough. However... what you say about the link is perhaps less true now that I've added the Examples page (which I don't think you saw?). And I wouldn't have had the gall to put the link there before. The home page does still give the impression that it's all about the software, but I can change the text if it makes a difference from your point of view. Would it perhaps be OK for me to put a link direct to the Examples page itself? The latter should become more and more explanatory as I add examples from other exam papers, by the way, not to mention more explanatory notes onto the examples already there. Thanks for explaining the position - sorry I didn't know the drill. Obviously I'd be very keen to make any changes that you would find acceptable. Tom Espressobongo (talk) 21:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
