yeah, I do not have a way to compile the LiveTyping VM in ARM and the
students do not use that architecture
Remember that CuisUniversity's target is college students of 2do/3er year
in Argentina and to reduce the impact of installing Cuis for them.

hmm that is a good point, but it is in Spanish because that is the goal of
this distribution, Spanish college students.
I think we need to have a similar way to distribute Cuis and that would be
in English. We talked many times with Juan about this and it is coming :-)

If you look at the Aconcagua and Chalten directories
(Packages/Measures/Aconcagua, etc), there are papers that talk about them
and also all these packages come with tests that are the way we use to show
what they do and how to use it, but I agree that a better documentation is
needed.
I use the package description as a way to track the changes, now that I
think about it, it is not the intention...

I'd love to have more comments but that has a price, the price to write
them and keep them synchronized with the code, so I prefer to use the tests
for that, I know it is not the same but it is good enough and they are
always synchronized with the code
