Everything at apache is under version-control :-D. All of the materials hat ever were on avalon.apache.org are available through a combination of cvs and subversion repositories: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/avalon/site/ And before that: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/avalon-site/site/?hideattic=0 (and some other locations as well). So (at least in theory, there might be a hickkup somewhere) all different versions of the avalon website that ever existed can be recovered. If you let us know what you need we can help you figure out the right commands to extract that information. > However, we don't really understand what makes Excalibur's container > different from Loom oor Metro's.

The "exact" specification of the framework is probably the combination of the framework source code combined with the subset of commonly implemented contracts among the different containers. One of the things that led to multiple not completely compatible container implementations was the immense difficulty to actually fully define what "exactly" are the avalon framework specifications. (Not much more or less so than for "specifications" like IMAP or HTTP 0.9.) Why do you ask?
