The rebuild facility is now complete, next steps

Each time you start AwServer, it creates a new log file--log file names include a timestamp. We now have a facility (to be included in the next release) to rebuild the database from the log files. Of course, in the process several problems were found/fixed in the code that creates the log files. (AwServlet/README.txt contains the instructions on how to do a rebuild.)

So at this point we may have enough to be able to build (and retain!) content. The theory is that if the database goes bad (which it still tends to do), we can just rebuild it. That's theory--we still need to see how that works out in practice.

So the next step is to try building some content. Then I guess the next priority would be a verify program that does a simple integrity check of the database.

All in all, things are looking reasonably good. I figure we are only weeks away from beta. :-)
