Well, if we put things this way, I can only agree. Remember that I'm talking as being fully knowlegable, not about new users that start using it *now*. We are in beta, but in fact there has been so much user feedback, that basically they have been alphas, with many changes. Is Centipede ready ATM to be used with any commercial product, with any programmer? No. But you can be it soon will. > For example: > > * How do I know when to make a 'cent', versus when to use an existing > 'cent'? > * How do I share an installation of centipede in an environment where > developers share common hardware (very typical in Solaris / UN*X shops)? > * How do I migrate my existing ANT mess into Centipede? > * How do I control the 'cent repositories', and why would I want to do that? All good and legitimate questions. We will answer them soon, thanks for the tips, they are very important :-) -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [email protected] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
