What I do for now is get everything from the sourceforge cvs and have another
cvs installed in my linux box (I guess though that you are using Windows more
so I am not sure what would happen there) for development that I am doing so I
can get them from home as well... if/when there would be  a need for commiting
back I would commit to the souceforge and everything would be ok.

Different branches for different people would be a good idea (is there a limit
that sourceforge would impose on us .. how many of us could have different
branches?)

I am away at the moment but I could from next week write a small doc to also
describe the changes I made to have AIM under a different directory as I deploy

my own tomcat that runs other application too and having AIM under ROOT was a
really bad idea...

2) development
--------------

I have a terribly slow connection and I can't comment on other devel issues
like the  browser detection and the ttm changes which would be great and
eventually lead to spearating the graphical interface from MAPLE to JSPs or
other dynamic pages that can be changed/maintained easier

I also asked in the JISC list and didn't get any replies but in case any of you

didn't see it we are going to do some work in separating the student data from
MAPLE in a different database in MySQL so as they could be used by other
systems. Has anyone changed anything in that and would be a scope in wokring
together or including his changes ?
