Thanks Alex,

Things have been a bit topsy-turvy with me lately, with a few
life changes under way. Development on Ceryle hasn't actually
stopped, just slowed down lately, and I'm hoping to be putting
up a web site, wiki, and distribution of Ceryle as soon as
things settle down to a dull roar, possibly by winter. I'll
likely be releasing full source code at that time. I'll by
that time have some idea of what *country* I'll be living in,
but perhaps not.

For those who haven't been on the inside (like Alex), Ceryle
now sports its own web server, integrated wiki, full support
of Dublin Core, the Lucene search engine, Jython scripting,
and I'm gradually working it towards becoming an OAI-PMH
compliant digital library package... with a Topic Map engine
built in, and a graphical editing system for building ontolo-
gies/taxonomies for organizing the stuff in the library, which
itself supports Faceted Classification according to an XTM-
based schema. The graphical editor is partly finished, but
I've lately been concentrating on the DL features. I'd like
Ceryle to be able to talk directly with DSpace, for example.

Yes, it's taking some time...
                           ...patience, grasshopper, patience.
