Ken,
I fixed the google calendar problem and committed the code via CVS. I assume
there is something you need to do to refresh the page for the web server so
that everybody can see the changes.
I have some more comments on the item list below.

OK, so where is the 'factory" file located? There is nothing with a similar
filename in the project.

I was talking about facets, although we really should have documentation on
all the facelets work and how to use it as well. I can actually probably
find a link to the facets documentation on-line. Those folks who have worked
on the facelets stuff should write up some good docs for the website.

I can put a link to this in the tutorial.

Who can do this? It needs to be somebody who understands the project well.

So, I can put in the links as indicated above for information we do have.
Much of these items require more content be written. Who can do this? Number
4 is particualrly important, I'd like to start doing some real development
(coding and analysis), but I really need more information in order to have
some place to start in understanding the internals of JSFTemplating. Getting
content to address items 1, 3, and 4 would go a long ay in helping me get a
handle on this.
