All, Nicola and me have written, tested and documented Tweety, a very simple avalon container, written exclusively for educational purposes. It does what it is supposed to do and has no known bugs; it has been shown to be easy enough to work with as Jason van Zyl has already run away with it to use for the up-and-coming turbine container, even when there were no docs or release.
Distributions are currently available from http://cvs.apache.org/~leosimons/excalibur/tweety; the site is at http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/excalibur/tweety. I would like y'all to vote +1 for releasing the first beta. The release basically involves tagging CVS and uploading the distributions in my cvs account to the jakarta site...for which I need a volunteer with access to that box =) here's my +1, - Leo Simons BTW: Future Release Plan (roughly) ----------------------------- - beta 1: now. - beta 2: with an "avalon for beginner guide" and a minimal "avalon container howto" (probably week or two from now) - beta 3: spell checking, beautification, etc. Maybe fix a bug if it pops up (probably week or three from now) - release (probably a month or so): make a little noise -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
