Ah, another good use for Clover, something else I have not played with...
volunteers? :-)

This page is automatically generated by Maven.  Although, I'm certain that 
there is a way to turn off this page with some property for the Maven site 
plugin.  ( Also, it seems strange that there is even a dependencies.html 
when there are no dependencies. )  You mentioned in a [lang] email that 
you thought that there were opportunities for [codec] to use [lang].  I 
agree, but I'd also like to get a sense of what others think as well.

The minimally required version of Java should be 1.2; although, I haven't 
validated that of late.  I think we should put this somewhere prominent on 
index.xml

I don't think we're going to enact universal design across all commons
projects in the near future.  I'm not sure how closely all Commons project 
adhere to the 1.2 compatibility requirements, and I suspect that a number 
of them are only compatible with 1.4, etc.  This would be a good idea to 
bring up in commons.

Commons is a diverse group of projects.  I'm seeing about 50-50 with the
standard commons HTML page, and Maven sites.  It would be nice if we could 
get some uniformity, but on the other hand, all I'm interested in is a 
useable product - if HiveMind moved to some custom Tapestry L+F tomorrow, 
I wouldn't mind at all.

Agreed, I'll make that change ASAP.

Absolutely, there is a somewhat critical bug in Base64 that was fixed and 
1.1.1 needs to be released.  The only showstopper is that DoubleMatephone 
does not have a test.
