For those interested, I've just checked in a new version of the slides
updated with some comments and slight review of some slides.

I still need to write the slides on the settings and finish to prepare the
third demo, but I think I'm not too far to what I'll use in may.

Ok

About users and downloads it's difficult to say. I have the numbers of
downloads before november 2006, that's all. I will try to see if I can put
some meaningful numbers though.

Yes, I should add comments on several slides, it's a good point.

It's basically the same as what is done in Ivy build itself, and in the
go-ivy example, so it should work. The only file downloaded is ivy.jar,
and this is enough. I use a fileset with all jars in the directory in case
you also need an optional dependency (like commons-vfs, or oro, ...)

I will add one. It downloads from maven 2 repository (
repo1.maven.org/maven2)

Good point

Ok

Good idea

Very nice!


Thanks, and thanks a lot for your 2 cents, they worth much more for me :-)
