Some questions your pages don't seem to address:

1)  Why would a typical EPICS (or other) site want to use this ?
    What are the advantages/disadvantages versus other tools,
     such as MEDM ?

2)  The overall implementation architecture is unclear.
    Where do the various components of the system reside ?
    Is the Core Registry an application on a server, to which clients
     connect ?
    One on each client system ? One for each client ? Part of the client ?
    What happens if multiple clients are run on the same system, by
     different users ?
    JoiMint is also an HTTP server - does it implement access controls
     and other security features ?

3)  What is involved in installing at a new site ?
    Installation on a server ?
    Installation on client machines ?
    Installation for each user ?

4)  What are the practical differences between the various versions
     (HTTP, Full, Light-HTTP) ?
    How do we choose which one to install ?

5)  Can you describe the architecture, implementation and usage in terms
     comprehensible by those of us with little or no knowledge of Java
     or XML ?

6)  Do I need to learn Java/XML to make full use of JoiMint ?
