Gabe's Contribution Summary:

I played the role of code-monkey early on and was responsible for 
enough things that I don't really remember what all I worked on. 
 From memory, a list includes:

* Primitive tree debugging: I wrote a lot of JUnit code and 
didn't stop debugging until that bar was green.

* File transfer: doing file I/O with HTTP is a bear, but I did 
find some tools out there (from O'Reilly at servlets.com) for 
uploading files. File download was a more esoteric problem to 
solve because our files are not just being sent over from the 
file system; they are all protected with ACLs and must be written 
to the output stream by custom code.

* Statistics interface: The hard part about the statistics 
interface was the dynamically generated GIF that formed the most 
useful part of this page. Once our (very badly written) grading 
scheme was set, I used this to generate statistics. The UI for 
this page is pretty good.

* UI redesign & implementation (with Joel): Joel and I redid the 
navigation and made the interface somewhat more coherent. This 
involved rewriting some of the primary pages. I think I did 
assignments, announcements, and handouts.

In general, I handled most of the freaky weird problems (like 
dynamically generating a GIF or creating servlets for file 
transfer) and let the general programming up to the others.

I also started and finished the user reference manual (with lots 
of Joel in the middle).
