Hi Victor, No major changes from me; I've been reducing my delta over the last few weeks. I'm sure a lot of people have local changes, though. I've copied webware-devel to give others a chance to pipe up. I think doing this refactoring is a worthwhile effort; it would be great to see Webware packaged and distributed. Probably the biggest hindrance to this has been CVS, because it doesn't let you move files around. Is it possible to avoid losing the CVS log for all the files which move? Should we consider switching to the subversion repository which Ian has set up on the new server? > Are there any style guidelines I should be following while I modify > the code? Yes.
