What I’m taking from this thread is that: 1) We (the Geode project) need to rework the README now that we have maven artifacts available. 2) We need to more prominently point users to the geode-examples/ source. 3) We need more examples. 4) We should include the examples with the binary (convenience) release artifacts.
Sounds like something to tackle for the next release! Anthony > On Oct 24, 2016, at 9:13 PM, John Blum <jb...@pivotal.io> wrote: > >> > On Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 5:59 PM, John D.
