Jon, sometimes you just have to confront your fears.  ;-)

I rarely have problems, and when I do, they are generally addressed
quickly.

An overall process that works for me.  Ever few days I take a peek outside
and look at gump logs.  When I see a bright and shiny day, I download it to
my personal development machine.  When things look bleak and cloudy, I
inform others and stick with what I've got.

For added convenience, I've started to make what I produce available to
others.  See http://gump.covalent.net/jars/

My list is longer.  ;-)

Life is easy when you work primarily on one project.  When you work on
muliple projects, the problem gets way more complicated.  What happens when
every project checks in their own xml parser, or -dev version of torque?
Which one do you use?
