Where is the CVS/Bonsai work heading? Here is a breakdown of the past 3-4 weeks:
* Initially was going for a straight wrapper around CVS ala the style Richard used for SVN.
* Tried to find some functionality within Bonsai that could make it easier.
* Talked to Reed Loden, he set up a repository for us to try with. Thanks Reed!
* Thought that there may be some additional (read: unpublished) tools that could be worked with. Got in contact with some of the "Project Participants" listed on [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonsai/]. Was told the person in particular wasn't a contributor (just submitted a bug report). They in turn pointed me to [irc://irc.mozilla.org/#mozwebtools #mozwebtools].
* Lurked on [irc://irc.mozilla.org/#mozwebtools #mozwebtools] for a few weeks. Talked to 'justdave' about Bonsai. Reed Loden chimed up and informed me that Bonsai can output to XML using ?xml=1 on the query (score! thanks again).
* Researched some PERL parsing utilities. Trying out XML::LibXML for DOM-style parsing.
* Hopefully wrap something up by Wednesday. Failing that, might just go with simple CVS wrapper of some sort.
