Perhaps we can build a automated regression test that is in part interdependent. Some things like just proving that we can round trip between xml, binary and object API trees can be done without a reader simulator but more complex interaction tests require either a real reader or a simulator.

Good, that means there will be less need to "feel our way" regarding open source development since we're all on the same page. I am an avid open source guy myself. I personally am an independent software contractor focusing on embedded systems and network software development and testing. I've been working with Impinj helping to build automated testing infrastructure and internal tools related to RFID readers. It is in this context that I designed the LLRP.xsd schema and an XML document-oriented framework for testing LLRP. This framework is now ready for upload so I should be able to check it in tomorrow. Impinj's contribution of LLRP-XML/Perl will be my first design contributed to an open source project. I have created some Debian packages and contributed patches to other projects in the past but nothing major. Most of the work I have done in the past has been proprietary so it is exciting that software I've worked on has a chance to gain a wider user base. -- John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
