Renaming the Functional Examples

[John Norman]

I saw "Starting Points" and wondered what it meant. I would have had  
the same issue with "Springboards". Now you say these are names for  
Functional Examples, I have an idea what to expect and why I might  
want to go look at one. This suggests to me that "Functional Examples"  
might be the *useful* name. Less exotic of course...

Once you go to one and see what it is you will learn the intended  
meaning quickly, but why add that load to the visitor?
