Well, my experience so far is that to use Acceleo you also have to be
a Java developer with a significant knowledge of Eclipse.  In other
words.  I am not getting very far very fast with the tutorials.  I had
a list of obvious things left out of the Quick Start.  But then as I
got to the point of Launching it.  There were a number of errors in
the Generate code.

These courses do exist but of course they do not yet teach knowledge modelling.

This is likely my last post on the subject for some time.  I have a
lot to learn about Eclipse and Java at this point.  Not my favorite
thing to do but I believe it is necessary.   I will initially
concentrate on building a solid ECore model and hopefully we can
attract some help with creating the Acceleo templates, etc.

Cheers,
