Hi Todd (and others!),
How are things going? There are 2 things I need to talk to you about.
1) CVS
I was about to start implementing the code management strategy we discussed some time ago, when I realized that the very first thing I need to know is what is the current status of the project? In other words, what tag do I apply to the head? We are at version abeille_2-something I believe... I would appreciate if you could provide me with the full version information of what's in the trunk so I can tag it and start opening branches.
2) Project housing
The first question brings me to the second; did you ever think of housing the project elsewhere? SourceForge.net maybe? I'm asking because considering the (rather) poor quality of service we have from
dev.java.net, I thought perhaps moving the project would address some of the following issues I observed:
a) not sure if there is room to host a project website (it would be great if we could make available online the help html code in the project, for example)
b) the project has very little visibility because of poor searching and project presentation on
dev.java.net
c) cvs management is complicated because instead of having our repository for the source code, it is checked-in as a module; as a side effect, when you browse the repository (in eclipse for example), it takes minutes just to list the HUGE list of projects in there... it is very annoying.
d) cvs access is slow (probably because of point c)
Let me know what you think.
