[Webofpatterns-user] new committer, new code, project structure

[Jens D. <j.b...@ma...>]

Hi,

I have just added a new committer to the project. Nathan Jones will work on
a SWRL based reasoning module used to select "good" patterns.

There are a number of new projects in the (SVN) repository. In a nutshell, I
have restructured the plugin so that it contains a couple of extension
points. The idea is that certain services (pattern discovery, pattern
publishing, feedback, reasoning to select patterns) are delegated to other
plugins. This includes the following (existing) plugins: 

- publishing / discovery based on delicious bookmarks [RC - release
candidate] 
- publishing / discovery based on blogger blogs [RC]
- publishing / discovery based on wopper - this is a db based webapp running
on our server at Massey [beta]
- a simple reasoning service [RC]
- a more advanced reasoning service based on SWRL [skeleton] (this is
Nathan's part) 

See http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/wop/docs/plugin/wopplugins.png for an UML
diagram explaining the structure. 

I have finally managed to add and test Proxy support to the main plugin. I
hope to be able to publish version 1.1 including all these features (except
the SWRL reasoning) within 2 weeks.
