I just released the first cut at browserless submission along with
other bug fixes in the 0.3.0 release of the server source code for the
CD Index. Marc van Woerkom is in the process of checking in the source
to the client into CVS. Once that is complete, the client will have
support for Linux, Win32, FreeBSD and IRIX in one code base.
I will continue to work with browserless submission and then move on to
data replication between servers. I suspect that we'll have browserless
submission completed by the end of may and data replication sometime in
june.
Marc and myself have been writing code to support the CD Index -- the
project continues to move forward, and we would love to see your
continued support.
