 Greetings,

 Alright, we're closer to some some semblance of synchronization now...

 Hello Kevin!  Nice to know someone else -is- tuned in!

 Yeah, the release time estimation consideration is always tough. Mind you,
 the actual value might change at any time, and could be updated when so.
 For example, 'now' that estimation might be 'before the end of 2009', but
 in 3months time it might be 'by the end of this year'....it's a mobile target.

 There's a small typo here and there on the download page, there's a few
 more likewise on other pages which I've caught on the 3rd pass.

 Rather than load you up with all these minor corrections,  I'll ask first
 if these fixups will be better served by me having a working setup
 of whatever documentation generation process you prefer to use?

 I'll hold these little corrections in check until I hear back on that....

 Agreed -- open discussion of such things on *this* list,
 gives every possible opportunity for the intended users
 of jazzplusplus to have some say in what happens next.

 Yep, as I mentioned above, 3rd pass revealed a few
 small oversights, but if the correcting/editting process
 is going to be streamlined by my using your preferred
 document generation method, then I would rather move
 to that method sooner than later.


 On the other hand, if you *do* want the current list
 of tiny textual fixups posted here, just let me know...
