Quite a busy day at work. We went from pretty casually doing design work for the next iteration of the product, to madly rushing to ramp up to do development work. Yeesh. Just a bried overview of today’s fun:

* Finish design work on the application’s search engine.
* Setup a new instance of the application framework (Turbine).
* Set up CVS.
* Set up the build environment for the application. We’re trying to migrate away from Ant and toward Maven. Maven has some really nice features, and a very large plugin selection, but it’s still not even at version 1.0, so documentation is pretty sparse, and often incorrect.

More fun is expected for tomorrow, when I have to begin coding the search engine, while still continuing the above tasks…..
