[Sonomap-developers] More...

Hi,
I've completely installed Sonoma on my laptop.  This was a great task.  I also believe I have just about everything working, including a Soap-client news section.  I'll probably post a binary release tonight.

With the previous release, the default template really didn't use all the different parts of Sonoma.  I did this to keep things simple, but it probably wasn't a good idea since these parts were not tested near enough.

Everyone has contributed to this release.  It has been very helpful discussing issues and finding out the problems we all had with the first release.  I'll probably just modify the previous binary release note.

About the source...  I'll probably take a snapshot of all the code and release it as well.  What's hard to decide is how user-friendly to make the code.  If we wanted to make it real user friendly, we could create another .war file and put all the class code in the /webapps/sonoma/WEB-INF/classes instead of just having a java project.  Personally, I don't like this method.

Also, we want to keep the code in modules (XSL, Java Core, Apps, etc.).  I like this but it makes it hard to put the system together just using the source code.  Having a make / make install approach would be nice.

Thanks,
Roy
