What was made:

- The technical architecture is ok
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=3D9251&group_id=3D450=
52


- The installation and configuration document is almost
  finished (for now) and I'm making an HTML version of this.
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=3D9322&group_id=3D450=
52

  However, Allan and David encountered some problems.
  Try to read the source forge documents about CVS:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/index.php?group_id=3D1


- A very little part of HiCare (client) and Atlas (server)
  have been made (available through CVS) and need to be tested.
  Because the RMI protocol used for the communication between
  HiCare and Atlas may (or not) pass through the firewalls
  (EJBs communication). Moreover the performance must be evaluated.
  Indeed, that will influence the future choices.

- The MyRPG specification (HiCare, Atlas, Holy Factory) is
  started. Milan and Geoff has joined us to this end.
  I repeat myself, anybody can participate and add there ideas
  (follow my glance ;D).

And now what must be made in an immediate future:
- Continue the development of the specification. We
  *must* absolutely define in a document first what the
  project intends to do, its behaviours...

  -> Who: anybody, especially me Milan, Geoff, St=E9phane and me (Lo=EFc)


- Begin the devlopment of the Holy Factory interface,
  think of its functionnalities (propose it in the working draft).
  This application will be a SWING GUI interface. It
  will render a world description and allow the creation
  and modification of a world easily. The world is decribed in XML
  so anybody who want to help to develop this tool should learn
  this language.

  -> Who: David, Allan, St=E9phane and me.


- *Begin* to create UML diagrams (not need to be works of art)
  because they could be modified according to the spec.

  -> Who: Alexey, St=E9phane and me.


- Continue to test the installation and configuration guide
  plus the light version of HiCare and Atlas.

  -> Who: Allan, David, James, Bertrand, Odacir, St=E9phane and me.


Don't hesitate to reply...
