Hi all AGX contributors and users out there,

we started ArchGenXML 3. A dream we dreamded for a while is to refactor
the core of AGX.

At the moment AGX is a huge code monster. If you look at the main class,
the ArchetypesGenerator, you'll see 4487 line sof code in one file and
almost in one class. This is anti-architecture. We have procedural
programming by using a class. Also the file does much more than just
dealing with archetypes.

Meanwhile we had lots of improvements. AGX started 2003 and it wont die
in future. I'am sure we will have in some years a 10 year party! But now
its time to make AGX modular. I know some guy from Django cz

Hi Jens

This is great news. We use AGX heavily and frequently bump into the
edge cases. We are usually in a position to fix the AGX codebase but
the monolithic nature has dissuaded us from contributing. By that I
mean any change usually takes place on that large module and it is
difficult to champion your little improvement if it can possibly break
the whole product.

Hedley
