                    J-Alice's Humble Virtual Abode  
 Welcome All 
                   This is J-Alice's home on the web. Here, 
                    you can complain or (preferrably) praise J-Alice in our forums, 
                    as well as seek help. You can subscribe to the infamous j-alice-general 
                    mailing list, or peruse the archives. Documentation is starting 
                    to appear (finally!) and if all else fails, you can always 
                    download new stuff or visit some of the links. 
                   0.5 Release Is Here 
                   A new release, with new features. Whilst 
                    it is now has a graphical user interface, you still can't 
                    use the app itself to talk directly to J-Alice. It's main 
                    purpose is for debugging. This release should be one of the 
                    fastest yet.
                   Currently, the only releases available 
                    are the Windows and Source releases. For other people, you'll 
                    need to compile it yourself unfortunately. 
                   Lending 
                    A Helping Hand 
                   Maybe you can lend a helping hand with 
                    the J-Alice Project. Even if we could do everything ourselves, 
                    your help could make things happen faster! 
                   We need help with the likes of better 
                    AIML to replace the Anna set. In fact, we may even start a 
                    community bot, where you help to build a new bot. At the moment, 
                    the Anna set is the only AIML Set that we know of, which tries 
                    to be a human, but a new set would be more than welcome for 
                    distribution with J-Alice. 
                   We know no-one really likes to write documentation, 
                    but we just gotta ask anyways. Even if it's not that good, 
                    a start is better than nothing. If you want to improve existing 
                    documentation, then you can do that too. Email all new/updated 
                    documentation that you would like to contribute to  
                    s-a-t-a-n and we will be more than happy to check/edit 
                    it, and hopefully integrate it into our collection. 
                   Lastly, we would like ideas for configuration 
                    tools, and better still, some working configuration tools 
                    (preferrably gui tools). Note that the current configuration 
                    system used is not set in stone, and it is likely to change 
                    again. If you have some good ideas, please speak up! Best 
                    place to tell us is the mailing list (you must be subscribed 
                    to post). 
                   Thankyou for being a part of our community!
