Ah. Good to know that at least somebody reads what I write. Even if that
somebody isn't me myself ;-)

Oh, the current CVS works quite good. I use it daily and don't have any
problems left, beside this little delay when accessing after some time
of inactivity.

The version below 1.0 is a safety belt for me. As long as the version is
below 1.0, every goof I make is just the normal beta version problem ;-)

No, actually I think that a 1.0 version would definitely require online
documentation for the stuff. And the cleanup you mention. Cleanup would
be moving several tools out of the default distribution into a samples
folder where users can fetch them and install them if they want them.
That's no big deal, I only need the time to do it.

But documentation is a totally different thing. I am not very good at
writing them. Or maybe I am - I never really tried. Far to lazy for that
;-)

Oh, and the threading needs to be reworked. 0.7.1 is in a half-baked
state currently. I need to rewrite some inner parts so that PyDS get's a
threading model like the one in TooFPy. But the biggest thing for 1.0
definitely is user documentation.

bye, Georg
