Hi Oliver It would be nice if the Readme would indicate that this is a work in progress to avoid users wasting time on a piece that is not ready for prime time. As the trunk is probably the first thing people get as Sling code this would be helpful I think.
In my opinion an example should be plug and play. For anyone not very familiar with Sling this is disheartening and can turn them away from Sling. I hope that Fling eventually gets there but for now I pass as I don’t have the time to look into that (have my own little peeve Sling project).
