Mr. Bartlett-sir-person,
Hi.
José has published his most recent copy of the GIT repository for Prequel,
which I hope will help. I also have some notes posted here:
http://www.ubiqx.org/proj/Prequel/
Your concerns about publishing that code "before you fix bugs" are quite
rational. I'm going to be out of town for a few days and other pressures
mean I won't get to even looking at the code until I'm back, so I'm glad
José beat me to it.
:)
