Some code is already written, and the site is up. That's the most important: get ready for communication.

A first tool has also been written; it is useful in three ways:
- in itself; it parses a DTD and creates classes that read a corresponding XML file
- as a test for some libraries such as argument parsing
- it will create classes that will be used by other future tools... read more
