Progress on the tla 2.0 todo list

Made ample progress on tla 2.0.

Finally got jblack his mirror and even sent mail about it!

Finally mailed back FSF paperwork!

tla 2.0 continues to progress nicely.

It's probably not controversial but here is a standard for the lexical syntax of subcommand names

Now I must catch up on some overdue non-tla 2.0 TODO items

Hey, boys and girls, I hit a milestone.... crazy, eh? The error code system for tla2 is now officially (I assert) in decent enough shape to move on to the next tla2 subtask.

read all about it....

Coding of tla 2.0 has begun. Currently, attention is being given to the mechanisms for managing error codes.

You can read about the status of that at $/src/tla2/guide.html.

It's been a busy two weeks since my last web site update.

Awiki now using css -- As you can see, the awiki tool that generates these web pages now has some rudimentary CSS hacks. A friend "forced" me to learn a little bit about CSS recently and, indeed, the core functionality of it seems to be clean, sensible, and useful. The next major revision to the awiki source code (which is not an immediate priority) will (a) make the wiki syntax it recognizes entirely "table driven" --- you can create custom wiki syntaxes by writing a new table; (b) make the translation of a wiki parse syntax tree to xml table driven -- choose your own element tags and CLASS attributes.

tla-1.3pre3 finally at ftp.gnu.org -- Freshmeat announcement going out today.

clarity achieved (relatively speaking) about archive and project tree formats -- recent discussions on those topics on the dev list have been very enlightening, at least for me.

tla 2.0 source base started; libawk largely replace -- The tla-2.0 project is officially underway.
