Dear Justin,

Glad you are ready to hack.

My experiences with Polish Translators ;-) has forced me to learn about 
i18n and encoding.  When ever I think I know it all, some problem pops 
up and proves me very wrong.  I am working thought this and will 
hopefully soon ci a solid standard solution that might actually work.

I have also started describing the data fields for hibernate.  I have 
realized that havening the Picture.time and Picture.date as Strings is 
bad and have changed this to a Date.  This is all done and works (JUnit 
is a very useful tool when you make these kind of changes).  There is 
still a lot of work to make Folder Description etc..  Beans.  I have 
started this and will ci soon, but I think we will need to develop this 
structure.

Once we have a database structure we need an Admin interface.  I am very 
temped to program this with my taglib techniques but I am forcing myself 
to open my mind and learn Tapestry.  I think I would like your help to 
program the Tapestry Database Admin module.  I also want to use this 
database Admin module for other database driven websites and projects.

The film strip picture preview navigator is something I have in my ToDo 
docs.  I will program this because I think I will be quicker navigating 
around my tag libs and you are quicker at the Tapestry stuff.  I will 
tidy up what I have and then program and implement a film strip tag lib.

I will update docs/ToDo.txt

All the best,

Doug
