  I too I'm new (though a bit less newer than you :-) ) to this list. here is as
far
as I could understand :

  The main concern of the group for the moment is to establish full
requirements.
The wohas not progressed for a while but it is restarting, it seems to me.

  I agree with the importance of the requirements, but I also try to progress
a bit with analysis in parallel to it. I'm supervising student SE projects and
about 20 of them will be working on analysis and design of a CASE. We'll
limit our work to the modeilisation of the main types of diagrams (Static and
Dynamic) of OMT/UML for the moment. I'll get the results in June (but then
I have to work on them for fusion, correction and translation into Engllish).

  We also will try to study and anlayse the code of DIA (freeware available for
Linux).

  I think that a good point to start is to answer your questions :-) I hope that

those who've been here longer than I will do. Actually, I too think that we
need to enhance the site with a "Contribute-HOWTO".
