Hi Ashwini,

I'm really happy to have news from you. I hope you're fine, apart from =
your job situation.

So I usually use Visio for UML diagrams but in these days I've tried =
ArgoUML, do you know about that?
The great thing is that is opensource software, seems good, let you save =
diagrams in .gif format but
the main thing is that because of it's free we can assume that tool like =
the official UML tool. Do=20
you agree?

Can you try it? You can download it from http://argouml.tigris.org. Have =
a look and let me know.
If also for you could be fine we can use it and I'll take care to =
rewrite all my diagrams with ArgoUML
and then save them in .gif format.=20

Can you go through the new documentation? We've changed the Word =
document format=20
to HTML. More lighter and flexible. That HTML is obtained starting from =
xml files that will be transformed
using an XSL file. Download the updated, compile the documentation with =
ant and go through.

Regarding the database I must say that I'm excited from the idea to use =
an OO db. Can you give
me an idea about what are the benefits on using that technology in that =
application respect to using=20
relational DBs? Do we have a strong OO db available to use? Is it =
possible to have a J2EE application
also using OO db?

Ashwini, because you're in trouble with your job and you don't have too =
much time to dedicate
to eDocs, of course, I've asked to other three people Rahmat Begum,=20
Fakhar Ahsan and Narasimha Reddy to work on the tasks related to search =
engine and storage. Can you=20
coordinate them on their job?=20

Rahmat, Fakhar, Narasimha I'll introduce you Ashwini Kumar. He is the =
manager in charge of the design and
development of the storage and search engine part of eDocs. Please =
coordinate with him about your work.
I hope you do that soon.

Regards

Sergio

  Hello Sergio,

  Sorry for this late response. I am in the process of moving in between =
countries I am not in Canada anymore and am in the US. I will soon have =
to go to India as well to look for jobs.=20

  I also have to prepare for interviews and am not very well set up with =
fast internet access here. But I will try to spend some time for my =
assignments this week. =20

  What tools do you want me to use to build UML diagrams etc? I do not =
have Visio or any other tool here with me. Perhaps I should just use MS =
Word to build the diagrams.

  Are you interested in using object oriented or Relational databases to =
store documents?

  Thanks,
  Ashwini
