[xmlWiki-developers] Update on my tasks

[Jim K. <ka...@ie...>]

I've made progress on a few fronts, though I've been tardy with informing
you all.

1.  You should all have accounts at 24.178.71.65.  Use SSH to connect with
your chosen username, (from last chat, plus 'elhugo') using your username
again as the password (you can change in from the shell prompt without
confusing SSH).  There nothing much of interest there right this second, so
this should be just a proof-of-connectivity.

2.  Tomcat was successfully set up on both my Windows box and on the Linux
side.  The process is simple once you know exactly what to do, but getting
there is a pain (and different between the platforms).  I suggest everybody
download Tomcat 3.2.3 (latest stable version) from www.apache.org and try to
get it running on your own machines.  I can help you get it going if you
have problems.  You'll need something to do your servlet development on, and
then we can put the latest 'public' version of the code on the Linux box for
all to see and evaluate.

3.  Deborah and I met earlier this week to do some programming, though this
more to meet each other (we both live in Peoria), get familiar with Tomcat
and servlets, etc.  We did end up writing a very, very small version of a
wiki though!  It weighs in at 2 files and about 50 total lines, but it lets
you view and edit a single page.  I hope to move it to Linux box before or
around our meeting.  BTW, the choice of a wiki program was just out of
interest and the code doesn't imply any direction for our real project.
Just treat it as a servlet example like Chris requested.

See you at eight!

Regards,
Jim
