Dynamite Sean. I am buckled reading this. Regarding cutting a release. I would really like to see us address OODT-630 Upgrade OODT components from using Tika 0.8 to Tika 1.3. I have a local branch which I was working on addressing this so I will try and attach a patch ASAP. I also think that we have some discrepancies with some license headers, etc. We should be able to pick this up via rat:check. I'll also submit a patch for this unless someone can beat me to it. I'll address the Tika issue hopefully within the next 24 hours. Great work team. Onwards, outwards and upwards.
