I now think I have a better understanding of the Launchpad versioning, etc.
so a bit of a changearound. Referring to an earlier email ("Downpatrick";
Wed, Oct 26)...

The docs need tidied up and considerably expanded, but the main focus is

I've created a Blueprint in Launchpad referring to Documentation, targeted
at Downpatrick (0.4)

State of play in Glypher :
> * GlyphMaker pretty unreliable, but has basic functionality
> * Only 3 major files with basic docstrings throughout; Sphinx docs
> buildable - preliminary tests carried out
> * Copying of entities now generally achieved through XML (rather than
> deepcopy), to prompt XML reliability improvements; saving/opening XML files
> consequently more reliable
> * Number of simple bug-fixes in last month
> * Lin alg very basic and unreliable
> * Toolbox needs reorganized
> * SLOW

Just thought it would be useful to flag these up, particularly after the
discussion about a feature list. Shall I open one up on the wiki?

On the topic of version names - the 0.x series are the county towns of

As I now think I better understand the Launchpad series system, which
roughly correspond to bzr branches, I've reorganized to three series
containing milestones (~= releases): forest (Armagh & Downpatrick), garden
(Enniskillen & Coleraine) and serengeti (1.0->) that will necessarily run
off independent code branches to enable future concurrent development. Of
course, at present, Downpatrick is the only one of interest.
