Re: [Tm4j-developers] Website update (well, sort of)

[Christoph F. <cf...@fo...>]

Hi kal,

this is really promising, especially the integration of the two very
different sources, api-docs and prose-documentation. Congratulations.

I looked in tm4j-cvs to find resources about how you are creating the
topicmap (topicmaps?) that the tm4j-site is built from, but the only
thing I found was tm4j/resources/topicmaps/sitemap/ where you seem to
store the 'ontologies'.
 
Are your scripts (I assume there are some scripts) that create the
topicmaps available anywhere on tm4j-cvs? I'm asking because I would
like to add some info concerning tmnav and panckoucke and I'm looking
for a good point to start.

Bye
c
