I am working on it. You'll see something live by this coming friday with a
nice web site like Cactus ! There is actually a first version in CVS if you
want to have a look.

True. I would like to change that, which is why I have decided to go help
... :-)
It is true they have not be contributing to the open source project. However
they do really use it on a big project. They have simply not taken the time
to expose all of what they have done. I would like to help them do that. I
believe they have very good ideas and they are sharp brains.

true, true, true ... (I was not speaking for your code :) )
There is everything to be done. However as stated above I believe the
background is good, i.e. :
- they are sharp
- they are known in the XP domain and Mock Objects field
- their paper on MockObjects is recognized
Now said this, there is everything to do, which is why the project is also
interesting ! :-)

hope so ... :-)
but I would love to have your help ... The idea is as there isn't much, we
can shape it to what we think would be best.
