We need a development cut-off-date so that releases/rpm can be tested before 
the public get them.

Would like get a publically accessible DGEE up for the release too so people 
can fire off requests to it etc.  Minddog said he was looking at this.   This 
would also need some example webservices to be written and deployed.  Some of 
the standard xmlrpc.org bettyservices would probably be good, though not the 
struct/array ones.

I'm trying to rationalise the installation so it becomes install-and-go, a 
bit tricky on the uid/gid & apache side.

The savannah registration is with the savannah-hackers.  Will upload the src 
into the CVS tree when it's approved.
