That is good news. I will add my name to the list of beta test volunteers (heck, JPluck is extremely useful but not mission critical so I'll even alpha test). Three suggestions/requests. First, I hope that the project can become an official part of Plucker with direct links on the www.plkr.org page. I don't know the politics of this but it is a bit confusing to new users. Second, once the project is ready for distribution, if it is not too much trouble, please include an installer to avoid the questions that periodically crop up about how to install JPluck. Third, I would suggest that, long term, a portable Java implementation of the distiller and GUI desktop will be more maintainable than separate OS specific versions. Perhaps the Plucker developer community could consider focusing on the enhanced JPluck as a default desktop to, ultimately, replace the current desktops.
