[mashup-dev] alpha?

[Jonathan Marsh]

Long running services are not an alpha1 goal ;-).

I'm fine using the wiki for our reference documentation for alpha1 - though
it will need a little reorganization and cleanup and anything that's not in
alpha1 needs to be clearly marked as such.  I'll try to start doing some of
that work, and file bugs on tasks that need more attention.

For instance, the File Object page has the updated interface, but the
descriptions aren't current, and a little under-developed on some aspects
like when an open is required (mostly it seems that read() and write() open
the file automatically, but for instance whether write() opens for
replacement or appending isn't documented.
