Hi Everyone,

Already replied to you (Michael) offline, but thought I'd throw this out
there.

I know I've been totally delinquent in the FastCST development, but I
promise I am actually working on it, just kind of indirectly.

* I'm currently polishing off the Ruby/Odeum code so that I can use it
in FastCST for full text search over code and revisions.  This should
replace just about all the tagging and "revisions follow moves" stuff
out there. My recent tests show that this approach just rocks.
* I'm finishing off the CookbooXUL application since I want to provide a
nice XUL based interface to FastCST.
* I'm working on the Linda distributed stuff so that I can include
zero-config setup.
* And I'm doing a libevent binding so...I can do a libevent binding.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out so folks don't lose hope.
Anyone who's interested in kicking me in the butt and motivating me to
actually work with them on FastCST should send a swift kick to my e-mail
address.

Zed
