RE: mobileOK validation logic - jar file?

Hi Yeliz,

You and your colleagues are very welcome to extend the checker. Personally, I don't see any problem as long as you are comfortable with the W3C License.
Perhaps we should set up a new branch from the exiting trunk to address this development. Any thoughts on this from the rest of the task force members?

Best Regards,
Abel

Asunto: Re: mobileOK validation logic - jar file?

Hi All,

As part of my project, with my colleagues at IBM if we decide to  
extend mobileOK library to handle local files, will we be able to  
commit back to mobileOK library? If we can, what would be the best  
way to work on the library?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Yeliz.
