  * There were some problems getting the current OCUnit tests for MPInterpreter to compile. My mentor suspects that it has something to do with the "thread protection" code that is part of the method being tested. We'll be looking more into figuring that out but won't spend too much time on it. Ping me for more details.

 These past two weeks were spent:
  * Writing a MacPortsFrameworkTester GUI because I hadn't figured out how to get Unit tests working yet and wanted to start some preliminary testing.

+This is a quick post. I'll elaborate and rewrite more later.
+
+I have completed documenting (with some gaps and holes) all of
+the Foundation Framework's classes. Of course that will undergo
+a couple of revisions. 
+
+I also, completed bare, smoke Unit Tests for the MPMacPorts and all of those
+run successfully.
+
+We currently have a way to implement NSNotifications from within the
+TCL API. This is thanks to sample code from Growl and help from my mentor.
+More on that later this week. Hopefully with enough refinement, it should
+be an acceptable solution to the Notfications issue.
+
+I did a build of Macports from trunk for the first time, applied a patch
+that will allow the Notifications code to work appropriately (it enables
+one to redefine the ui_init method in macports.tcl much in the same way
+that ui_prefix and ui_channels work). I was able to get the Framework running
+and passing Tests on the new MacPorts build with the patch. 
+
+I ran into a problem with Pextlib 1.0 not being found. If you try to install
+MacPorts from a trunk source build and have that problem, symlink tclsh
+in /usr/bin/ to tclsh8.4.7, it would have previously been pointing to tclsh8.4.
