Hello Kelly, nice to hear from you again!

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/embedlets/

The 'releases' directory contains a stable version of the platform and the
other CVS directories contain the work-in-progress code.  So far, all of the
experiemnts that I have done with the Outpost Embedlet container indicate that
it is very stable and usable now if we can just figure out a good approach for
attaching it to 'hardware things'.

If this were a standard pure-software project we would have had an official
release already but since Embedlets is a Hardware/Software hybrid project the
software is not useful to anyone without it being able to control hardware.

As I had indicated in an earlier post, there are still a number of hurdles to
overcome before Embedlets is ready for an official release (like JAPL and the
Configuration mechanism, etc.) but the core Embedlet container code base
appears to be very solid.  More than solid enough to pursue the Global Light
Blinker and similar projects.


So, what do you think about the Global Light Blinker idea?


Ted
