[Sending this to our dev list, but ccing both of you in case you =20
aren't subscribed to it.]

Welcome Oliver to our little team.  I'm back in the swing of things =20
after a major medical emergency and it's on my todo list to get a new =20=

version out by christmas that encorporates Patrick's contributions =20
and an example app I've been meaning to put in there that uses his  =20
new patterns too.

Oliver you should have access to cvs repostitory now.  The way we've =20
worked so far is that any major changes people are thinking of are =20
suggested and discussed before doing any work or committing.  I'm =20
open to ideas on that too, we've been pretty informal so far and its =20
worked.  :)   So far we are writing to java 1.4.x, although I think =20
we may be able to switch to 1.5 soon.  I like to keep it compatible =20
with as many people as possible.

btw guys, what do you think of switching to subversion?  they offer =20
it now and I like it better than CVS, use it for my home projects.  =20
CVS is fine though, so wouldn't mind staying there either.
