I don't think that's an issue. How many potential Plucker folks _care_ whether Java or Python does the processing to create files Plucker can view? They download the Plucker distribution files, run the installer, and hot sync to get the Plucker binary on thier PDA. As long as they can right-click on a local HTML file and select Convert to Plucker (under Windoze, at least), or pluck a web site, and hotsync the result to thier PDA, what the desktop component is written in won't matter. They'll just want it to work. > That said, maybe David could add a tip to the site for > running the script automatically using the scheduler > (Windows version of crontab).
