Re datastore tutorial: Questions: - should I be working in trunk? - I see /docs/user/tutorial/advanced/datastore.txt -- is that the one you're talking about? - I see CSVDataStore.java (and others) also under docs/src/main -- is that the relevant java? How is that 'unsupported'? Just trying to understand the basics... - I see the name 'jive' as the author in svn -- is that you? Is there a list of svn usernames somewhere?
