Java developers

Hi everyone. Gordon just pointed me at this community, and I thought I'd put out a call to anyone who's interested in working on the Pepys project.

For those that haven't heard of it, Pepys is a LiveJournal client written completely in Java. Pepys itself doesn't have a user interface, and as such is designed to be "plugged-in" to anywhere you might want to add LJ functionality.

Gordon is working towards a release version of an AWT user interface to be used as an applet. He's just added some image stuff which isn't quite displaying yet, but everything else works as far as I know.

Anyway, the whole thing is open-source, and we'd be happy to have other people help out with whatever you're interested in. Have a look at pepys_dev if you're interested.

I pinched a couple of images of Duke from java.sun.com to be the user pic for this community.
Do you think they'll sue?

My current project is to create a website that will host an updatable database of names and addresses. I have some Java experience, but seek advice on where to start. So far, it looks like it will involve JDBC coding with a Swing (JTable, TableModel interface). If it is web-based, i would have to do it in an applet.

Anyone with database / java experience with some tips or pointers would be appreciated.....

I'm mostly clueless for now.

Thanks.
