I have become very interested in your product, more so I am interested 
in helping with some development.  I was planning on writing a decent 
listserve mailet.  I've been looking through the code of the last 
release and am finding it hard to follow.  I look at the head of the cvs 
and I see significant changes and it appears you've started a push to 
the new Avalon Framework.  My questions all pretty much relate to that 
push.  How far along is the complete switch?  What version of Avalon was 
used in the latest release?  Can I get the source to the Avalon that was 
used in that release (I'm having a real hard time finding it through 
conventional CVS use, Avalon has changed a lot).  What is the current 
roadmap planned for James?  Should I begin my development with the 
stable release or should I start by using the <blank>?  Is there any 
work being done on the readability of your code namely the includes.  
Let me explain.  In all your files you include entire packages with 
wildcards.  When coming across a method or Class it is hard to find the 
javadoc/source to grasp an idea of what is fully going on, because the 
realms are so large.  I suggest that includes should avoid wildcards and 
try to include only what is actually used in the particular file.  This 
will make browsing the source much less painful. 

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike Stanley
