My few cents ...
* PPT-Master
- You should write "ApacheCon EU 2007" instead of "ApacheCon 2007". There are
more (US, Asia...)
* Global Notes
- URLs in the PPT comment area for further information (Ivy Homepage /
Manual) would be helpful.
* History
- Some words about user community: how many users/committers, number of
downloads ...
==> Ivy is not a niche product
* #6: First contact
- Place some comments (in the comment area of PPT) about the properties
ivy.jar.url : URL to Ivy-Binary-Download (?)
ivy.jar.dir : Where to install Ivy
ivy.jar.file : ?
ivy.lib.path : Jars needed to run Ivy
- Have you tried that target? I cannot follow the steps ... You're
downloading ONE file.
Where do the JARs in ivy.jar.dir come from?
* #7: First contact
- I miss a note where Ivy downloads the JARs from ... Ibiblio? Local Repo?
* #14: Where do those files come from?
- "anything can be a repository": provide examples: "filesystem, svn,
Maven-Repo, ..."
* #15: Where do those files come from?
- You have to insert the ivyconf.xml ;-)
* #17: Modular development with Ivy
- Nice animation ;-)
* #19: Settings
- TODO
* #25: Ivy / Maven2 comparison
- spell: "if you already use ant": Ant in uppercase
* #26: Future
- Place notes about Mailinglists, Homepage and Issue Tracker
Very nice!
