Long term plans are to make gump a full fledged subproject of Jakarta - all
that remains is to bootstrap a development community.  As it stands now,
everytime I am distracted by other things, I see Gump results suffer
measurably.  :-(

Once this happens I do intent to fully advertise it. Meanwhile, you will
find the URL I mentioned above can be gotten to by two mouse clicks from
the page you mentioned.  Or from Jakarta's web site.  At the moment, the
same is even true about www.apache.org.

That information was produced by a single, and relatively straightforward
stylesheet.  The source can be found at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-alexandria/proposal/gump/stylesheet/xref.xsl

My only intent was to say that the raw data is present.  Now I've added a
direct pointer to the place where potential improvements can be made.  Let
me add an open invite to anybody who cares to contribute, and a suggestion
that they join me on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
Anything else I should add?  ;-)

Stefano: as you well know, harsh comments don't irritate me.  People not
talking or working together does.  A prime example at the moment can be
found at http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/gump/2001-11-21/xml-cocoon2.html
