The developers, changes, and todos have been put in status.xml, as they are more dynamic. When switching to latest Centipede, we will use that if you all are ok. Just as an information: Maven will soon propose to switch Gump to using the Maven descriptor. This will be a real PITA if it will fet through. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi nicolaken@apache.org - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
