Hello everyone,

In order to try to revive Alexandria (which I believe is a truly
excellent idea), I have started a new proposal that will merge all of
Gump/AntGump/Alexandria's functionality into one large, ambitious
proposal named Vindico.  This proposal intends to replace Alexandria,
ala the Rules for Revolutionaries.

Vindico uses Ant ala AntGump to build the list of projects using the
descriptor format that Gump uses currently, with just some really minor
modifications.

I intend to merge anything missing in Alexandria's format into Gumps,
and also functionality.

I am also looking at adding a JXR type system by using JavaML (a patch
to jikes to spit out XML from java source code located at
http://javaml.sourceforge.net).  JavaML is quite interesting from the
ability to use standard tools in the XML world to be able to do code
audits, metrics, and HTML formatting.

So JXR, and then a master JavaDoc repository, with audits, metrics,
lists of who uses what classes (Gump does project dependencies, but how
do you know who uses the Digester ExtendedBaseRules?), some source code
formatting possibly, basically the uber-developer site for
searching/viewing/learning java source code.

Want to jump in and help.  Let me know.  Currently Vindico just spits
out a *lot* of log files which need to be massaged to some sort of
usable format (HTML).  There are also a lot of FIXME comments in the
code.  So dig right in, I am happy to have the help.

Let me know what you think,
Scott Sanders
