Actually, Jeff, I would love to contribute. I fear, however, that my newness
to Turbine might make me more of a hindrance. I have much learning of
Turbine to get through. My hesitation is that I will produce more questions
than code. :/
I have, on the other-hand, created simple servlets - mostly for database
connections - and thought this might be a nice stepping-stone for me. (I
also happen to have need for this scheduled-message ability at my work.) I
have posted a message on the JAMES list to see if I can accomplish this.
I will also see if I can learn some of these items in Turbine. In any case,
I will happily share any results with the list.
BTW - you have also mentioned efforts directed at XSL to present the data. I
actually have some experience with this. Perhaps I could assist on these
efforts.
Steve B.
