A good start.

A UML CASE tool based on the rational/omg docs. The repository is defined by
the IDL. May have to add some bits to cover the diagrams. The UI is a bit
woolly at the moment. Maybe you'd like to start that side of things?

There are some requirements somewhere on the web site. Write some design docs
or use cases?

I hope not. I'm in communication with Andrey and he liked my idea of using the
CORBA OA&D IDL.
I've been looking for a project like FreeCASE for ages. I've seen other
projects which were enthusiastic but petered out. This one looked like it was
going the same way not so long ago. Thats why I'm looking to get some _code_
done quickly.
I've just been looking at the Argo UML code. They seem to have UML metamodel
code which we may be able to use. Haven't been able to DL the code from work
though :-( and its written in Java which is new to me. Still, I enjoy a
challenge.
