Thanks to Mary Beth Baker, who found a couple of problems in the first  
release of Blacklight. I'm going to fix these and re-release later  
tonight. I might even get my act together and port our svn server to  
rubyforge so it won't be so important to do frequent releases.

Thank you, Mary Beth!

Bess

It is pretty much the same as 0.1, but with better documentation and  
some config options fixed, and without the .svn files, so it's a  
smaller download.

Subject: [Blacklight-development] blacklight source svn is on rubyforge
Message-ID: <0EC1551C-D06A-4944-A598-A69C6728EFAE@virginia.edu>

You can access it via anonymous svn checkout like this: svn checkout  
http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/svn/

But if you're a committer, check it out like this so you can commit  
changes: svn checkout svn+ssh://developername at rubyforge.org/var/svn/ 
blacklight
(where developername is your rubyforge id, natch)

And you can browse the source online here: http:// 
blacklight.rubyforge.org/svn/

If you're a committer, please use this svn repository, and not the  
UVa ones from now on. Thanks!

Bess

Hi,
Attached is a small patch to the main README which might help folks get started.

The only other problems I had getting blacklight set up had to do with
having an old version of the ruport gem around that was trying to be
activated. I'm using ruport on another project, but removing the old
ruport gem made the error go away.

What kinds of things are you looking to see done? What are your ideas
on where you'd like to see development go?

Would it be ok to set the ignore property on log files?

One thing up front: I'd like to see the UV specific stuff moved to
partials (or stripped out) so it can be an easier for folks to use as
a replacement or supplementary catalog.
