[Utbot-devel] project release, website

[Ryan R. <ro...@ta...>]

I have created a release for our project that can be downloaded from our
project site on sourceforge. They are in zip format and come in three
varieties:

Source only - docs and jar can be built using the ant build script
Bin - includes the executable jar file and docs
All - includes everything (source, jar, docs)

I also put together a simple we page for the project
(http://utbot.sourceforge.net) because there were a few things that I
wanted to put on there (links, screenshots, API documentation, etc).
Joe, you said that you were working on a simple design and something to
say on this page. I wasn't trying to do your work for you, I just
thought that it was better to have a little something than nothing there
- please upload your version when you are ready and try to figure out a
way to incorporate the stuff I already have on there please.

I think that we are ready to start doing some real work now. We have
gotten over the hurdles of learning the Javabot API and gamebot protocol
(almost) and have the sourceforge stuff in place so that we can all work
on the code. If we could get by without commiting to a certain agent
architecture over the next couple of weeks I think that would be good,
since I still feel that our goals for this project aren't well defined
yet. We can begin to think of ways to implement simple agents that solve
simple problems and work our way up from there. That's my view of the
way to proceed, does anyone disagree? 

I will be busy over the next few days with other classes/projects and
stuff so this is all I can do for a little while at least. I plan on
sending a message out to the gamebots listserv soon to let them know
what we have been working on here. If either of you are in Bright
tonight, you can find me in my office.

Cheers,
Ryan
