As it stands we are in transition, just cleaning up things as we go. The long term goal is a console mode setup, and a gui setup, with the same core. > Do you (anybody else?) mind elaborating this a bit, maybe better off list? > My peculiar email address DOES work, just send away, I'll be eagerly > listening/reading. Well, if MVC was new and interesting, can I suggest you obtain (from your Uni library perhaps) the Gang of four book "Design Patterns". It's a library of software design idioms (of which MVC is just one). > e.g. I wonder about: > - Are you using some specific tool for setup? vim :}.

I've heard good things about struts. Really though, MVC is a design approach. MVC frameworks are frameworks that use that approach - you can easily have MVC without such a framework.
