Sounds good.

Yeah, that's what we thought. I think it might take a while to get it to
behave properly and mature a little though. So planned for 1.1 (but
those no reason why 1.1 shouldn't happen within the next few months).

Yep.

Yeah, we'll take a deep breath and support DataSource sometime. 1.1+ I
think.

Yep, looks like that would be fairly simple to implement. Presumably, we
could then contribute our ProxoolConnectionProvider to the Hibernate
project? Do you have some contacts from Hibernate so that we can discuss
how best to do this? I don't suppose they'll want to add Proxool support
until we are at 1.0. And that won't be for another month (I'm guessing).

Yeah, I asked for it! I think I'll add a RoadMap to the web site for all
this stuff. But I suppose I should wait for your doc freeze to be
complete first. Actually, I am just making a link fix now. Perhaps I
should just tell you what it is:

listen.html has links to:
api/org/logicalcobwebs/proxool/StatisticsListenerIF.html, and
api/org/logicalcobwebs/proxool/StatisticsIF.html

they should have the admin package in the path:
api/org/logicalcobwebs/proxool/admin/StatisticsListenerIF.html, and
api/org/logicalcobwebs/proxool/admin/StatisticsIF.html

Yeah, it would be great to be associated with Hibernate. Do you want to
talk to them, or shall I?
