Agreed - I think the first thing is to stabilise on a specific (recent) version of the code, and the second is to get this version building cleanly - I think that would be a good milestone.

I tried the snipped-wiki build mainly for curiosity's sake. To be honest, I don't actually know what version I have, although it's definitely post-uttoxeter - if you look at www.cassiel.com you'll see it has some of Paulo's enhancements - and the VERSION tag hasn't been expanded, suggesting that this is a slightly bastardised build. The archive I have is dated Feb 29 2008, but that is almost certainly the date that I unpacked it.

One thing it would be useful to know is whether the data schema, or the XML export format, has changed since uttoxeter - if it has then I'm already committed to more recent versions.
