[CentraView-Announce] Development Update

[Kevin M. <su...@ce...>]

I know we haven't done a release in a while and it looks like a few of 
the bug tracker items are stagnating, but I wanted to say a lot is going 
on, if you look at the changes in CVS you can see there has been quite a 
cleanup and change effort in the works.

First we are really close to having the German version read to go, there 
are a few issues with timezone and the visual formatting of dates that 
need to be addressed, however we anticipate wrapping that up in the next 
week or so.

Second if you ever tried to develop with CentraView you will know that 
there were a lot of dead ends and orphaned code sort of sitting around. 
We are removing all the dead ends, including the much feared ListGenerator.

So the ability for Java developers to dig into the code and make changes 
quickly and easily should be much easier shortly.

We should then run through many of the bugs and start doing some really 
cool work, like implementing a real web services API, and doing some 
EJB3 work so we can eventually reach a point where the database you are 
using doesn't necessarily need to be MySQL.

Thank you for your support and patience.
Kevin and the CentraView team.
