> 2) Is it the best tool for the job? What are the alternatives?
> 3) Is Classcycle hosted in any maven repository?

> Additionally,Raja mentioned possible sending a little monetary support. I

> Information is at

> Once the domain and space are setup. I am going to setup a new blog for any
> of the developers to blog about architecture rules on, and I am going to
> move all of the documentation out of a wordpress blog and into a wiki. That
> way you all can help with documentaiton contribution if you want to.
> Awesome!

> Thanks for your hard work everyone. And welcome Raja.
