As there have been no comments on the draft I posted to the apps-samp
list a couple of weeks ago, I assume everyone is happy - good.

The 1.0 WD is now available on the IVOA Docs page:

    http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/SAMP.html

This is the same as the version on the wiki above except for the
author and editor lists, and some formatting changes including those
required to generate the HTML version alongside the PDF one.

It would be great to see people starting to implement this now,
or in the case of Alasdair and Thomas modifying their existing
implementations to match the 1.0 WD version.  I am working on a
hub, client toolkit and hub test suite in Java.  I hope to provide
an initial release of this fairly soon - if anyone is particularly
keen to get an early copy (the hub is working now) let me know,
otherwise I'll wait until it's a bit more documented and tested
before announcing it here.

Thanks to all participants for getting this far.

Mark
