Please note that this mini-FAQ only addresses general questions about the nature of the Tunes project. Specific and technical questions about particular Subprojects are dealt with in documents from those subprojects.
If you still wonder about what Tunes is, please tell me (Faré), by sending e-mail to rideau@clipper.ens.fr. Mind, that is how I happen to know which questions are frequently asked ! If no one asks me clarifications, I cannot adapt the FAQ to real questions of people. But of course, do not ask again some existing question, unless you're not satisfied with the answer (-8.
