It isn't discouraged to get the source code. It is however discouraged to
try to setup and run Turbine without using the TDK.
> Where is the source from the TDK I downloaded, below?
The source is in CVS. The TDK currently just grabs snapshots of the
Turbine source code in CVS at the time the TDK was built. When we have a
release of Turbine, we will have a release of the TDK that is based on the
release of Turbine. That is why the TDK is 1.1 ALPHA.

Good for you! :-) Not really sure how that relates to your next questions.

Everything in Turbine is defined as an interface. Turbine has default
implementations of those interfaces that hit against Turbine's schema's.
You, however, have the option to implement those interfaces to access your
own stuff. Simply set the appropriate TurbineResources.properties to point
at your own classes.
