It'd be great, if there was some sort of separation so that users 
know exactly what to use for cross-platform development and what 
not. Docs or some sort of a cheat sheet would be nice too. In 
this way users can see, if Ocean contains something interesting 
for the task at hand. There's less of a chance of adoption, if 
you have to go through the source code to see what it does.
