Bringing an off-list conversation onto the list (I failed to cc the list in
the first place).

---

Unfortunately these aren't the only ways we've fallen behind the times
(hard to believe we've been doing this for 15 years!).

   - Maven/Gradle are now de-facto standard build systems for Java apps,
   and yet we're still using Ant (I was never convinced by the security
   argument against these tools, since we don't audit 3rd-party libraries
   anyway)

   - Website badly needs an update, it looks very dated and frankly a bit
   spammy.  Bootstrap <http://getbootstrap.com/>
    anyone, or even the Github page generator
   <https://github.com/blog/1081-instantly-beautiful-project-pages>
    would be a big improvement

   - We could also use an automatic unit testing system like Travis CI
   <https://travis-ci.org/>
    (which is free for O.S projects)

Of course, all of these things will require work.  Fortunately, most can be
tackled independently of each-other and so we can bite off one piece at a
time, if there are any volunteers to take ownership of them.

Ian.
