* Started trying to collate all the apps we do in DS6 here:
http://wiki.eurovotech.org/twiki/bin/view/VOTech/DS6Software
and
chivvy people along into having a proper release process.
* Looked at Maven 2.1-SNAPSHOT in the hope that it has solved the many
bugs in Maven 2.0.4 that are stopping me getting _my_ software into shape
* Maven is still a disaster for site generation. Refactored the Plastic
site to remove as many subprojects as possible in the hope that this
will help.
* In depth look at Mirage
* Installed STILTS-1.3 and got authorityId changed to Starlink, which we
manage here at ROE.
* Checked all our dbs except usnob, conesearch and adql through workbench.
* Created bugzilla entries for all our components to keep on top of
issues. See
http://www.astrogrid.org/bugzilla/editproducts.cgi?action=edit&product=WFAU
