I've checked the servers are still up, and they do exist - although they
are rather slow and whether the file format is the same I don't know, I
haven't been able to find anywhere else to get the data from though.
The files from CVS compile successfully, although I haven't tried using
them yet.  It seems fairly easy to understand what's happening, even
without documentation.
I'll let you know if I manage to use the library in my project, and any
changes that I make to it.

Hi Richard!  nice to see some traffic here.

You'd have to check, but I think parsing should be working.  There isn't a
lot of functionality in the project, and I'm guessing the servers it's set
to query aren't there anymore, but what's in CVS should be functional.

[JavaWeather-developer] Status Report

[Richard K. <ri...@te...>]

Hi,
	From the look of the sourceforge pages, it looks like this
project hasn't been updated for a long time.  I'm wanting to use the
library in a project I'm working on, and I was wondering whether the
javaweather libraries are in a usable state for development of other
projects as they are - or will I need to work on the libraries
themselves before using them?
	All I really need is the basics of getting the metar data, and
parsing it - none of the city forecasts or unit conversions.

Bay, David, Vivek,

Thank you for your interest in JavaWeather!!  I didn't expect to get several
people asking how they could help so quickly.  Aside from being very busy
with other stuff this past month, I've taken some time to try to organize
the project better (with the code, using sourceforge more, and just general
organization and direction), and I hope how you can help will become more
clear.

To learn more about what we are doing, I'd first suggest you check out the
new web site at http://javaweather.sourceforge.net/.  The todo section is of
special interest.  I've written up several tasks that need to be done here,
and for the Perl script conversion and METAR decoding tasks, I made extra
pages with some guidelines and more info on what needs to be done.  I'm
going to continue linking between the web site and sourceforge resources
more, so I hope this becomes a useful and current resource.

Frank Chiron has taken a first step towards converting the Perl scripts to
Java that I mentioned in the job posting, but there's still plenty to be
done.  I'd encourage you to join the mailing lists on sourceforge if you're
so inclined (I'm hoping we can start using the developer mailing list soon
to archive project tasks).

Please feel free to reply to me or to the group about what if any you'd like
to do.  Again, I really appreciate any of your time and code, and apologize
for not having more time to work on things.  I expect that for the
foreseeable future, I'll probably be mostly managing the project by
organizing code submissions, updating the web site, and otherwise trying to
keep things moving forward.  I'm also going to make some announcements on
freshmeat and some other places once I have the latest build uploaded and
marked in sourceforge as a release.

Thanks again!
