A first alpha version of the sighting applet has been made available on the project mockup. Its goal is to allow the user to "draw" its sighting. We target visual testimony because we found it (in the state of art) as the best way to describe a sighting (less subjective, more simple, allow the user to "replay" its sighting with date/time/sky aspect, etc.)

See http://rr0.sourceforge.net/Mockup/PhenomenonEdit.html for this preview.

Early access Java sources have been made available on the project home page. Feel free to download it and test it. Any feedback is appreciated.

Project artefacts have moved into SourceForge "Docs"/DocManager section. They are managed in english and french versions.

Added "Test plan" and "Glossary" artefacts.
