I'd love it if you'd dive in and let rip with the issues :) Almost
everything that exists in ZooLib has already survived criticism and
debate with the people who use it, but that's been a fairly limited
group so far and additional insights or complaints are only going to
help.
Using this mailing list would be most valuable, rather than sending
directly to my email. I get the feeling that although there must be at
least 1000 people who've downloaded the source, most of them have not
been able to get into it because of the paucity of documentation and
sample code. A richer mailing list archive might be helpful, and could
seed a documentation effort (I can dream).

wrt cvs, my copy of ZooLib is managed out of a private cvs server that
supports the product development work of Learning in Motion and OISE.
Every month or so I post a package of source at
<http://www.zoolib.org/bleedingedge/>,
which I intended as an interim measure until I figured out how to handle
keeping the source in two cvs servers simultaneously. Unfortunately I
don't have any experience with that kind of setup -- in fact if I'm
doing anything other than a checkin or update I have to hit the cvs
manual to refresh my memory. If you (or anyone else reading this) has
any suggestions about how to handle this I'd love to hear from you.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Andrew Green
