The stand alone examples are essentially are a way for the end-user(like you) to interact with the project without me saying "run the unit tests". I would love to get your markdown into the project and coupling that with a new module seems liek a good idea to me. Please read our guide on contributing code. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GOSSIP/Apache+Gossip+contribute+code We have already talked about this enough so you can start from the part "Create a JIRA ticket" and submit a patch with the examples moved out into a module and your markdown. I will help usher the process. Thanks Edward
