Well, now that I'm finally au fait with subversion, I've got naming checked out and compiling core [factory needs a little work and it's late], what's the status? There's the XMLConfigurator Digester thing for configuring. Factory contains all creation of type="xxx" I presume? Some nice initial documentation on the site [though is a bit hard to find project-specific stuff I found]. Any plans? How about trying Commons Configuration out as a configuration system for Naming?
