Ok, I guess that's all a yes.

Are there any developer protocols you all adhere to? I'm very  
familiar with plone test cases and selenium testing and pretty ok on  
subversion branching and merging. I presume I need to set up a branch  
on http://svn.plone.org/svn/archetypes/ArchGenXML/branches/  - say  
http://svn.plone.org/svn/archetypes/ArchGenXML/branches/ 
form_controller_support ? ... and some permissions to access it.

also, which specifications of XMI should be developed against?

xmi 2.0
xmi 2.1
xmi 1.3
xmi 1.2
xmi 1.1

and UML

uml 2.0
uml 1.5

I someone could edit that list it would help, or I could follow my  
nose in the code.

Also, are there any quirks or pointers to quirks for various UML  
editors that ArchGenXML likes to think it works with?

Also, what's the timetable associated with http://plone.org/products/ 
archgenxml/roadmap ?

cheers
Matt
