[Icecrawler-devel] This week's good news :-)

[Guillaume C. <las...@gm...>]

Hi everyone !

I got kind of an announcement to make : Ready ?

Our crawler finally crawls !

After nearly seven months of development (has it really been this long
already ?) we finally got something that works... Almost. It's still needing
some key parts like the "Website" notion and at least a working export
module to actually do something useful. But still, this is great news as it
can now navigate on the web and follow the links it finds !
Really, it is news from the weekend actually (the commits are dated from
saturday and sunday), but since I partied a little bit all over friday and
saturday night, I figured out It would be better for me as well as for you
to wait one day before sharing it :-)

Congrats to everyone who made that possible (yeah, I'm also thinking of you,
lil' mexican girl ;-) ) and also thank you for the interest, ideas and faith
you've had for or in the project. (this time thinking of you, ICECrawler
newbies !)

I'd like also to take it as an opportunity to drive the project towards more
intensive development (at least on my side). I mean : c'mon guys ! This
thing actually does something ! Wouldn't it be great if it could reach its
full potential ? Speaking of which, our bugtracker got some items if you're
interested : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=193794 :-) Do not
hesitate to fill it some more or to do some work on the items already listed
! (but before you do so, please send a mail to this list to check if someone
isn't already doing some work on what you plan to help us on)

Well, I gotta get back to work, I'm supposed to be in an internship :-p

See you later !

Guillaume
