Howdy was a cool project for me to code, and it had potential; however, I lost interest, and development has stopped for this project.
Version 2 was released yesterday. See the ChangeLog for details.
It appears that I'm getting better at HTML! Wahoo! So yeah, the page is now valid HTML and valid CSS.
I just imported the code to CVS. Since I'm new to CVS, I kinda messed up when I created the module though. When grabbing the code off the server DON'T GET IT FROM THE "howdy" (with a lowercase 'h') MODULE! Because the directory name is lowercase, it breaks Howdy's classpath. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CODE UNDER THE "Howdy" (with a capital 'H') MODULE.
I've started putting together the homepage. It shouldn't take long to get settled into SF (first time using it).
