Etc3 1.0
I have Etc3 to the point that it seems to be working consistently and reliably. And so I've sent her out into the wild: etc.wharton.upenn.edu. The site is actually called etc3beta, but that's because I'm just about out of gas and don't want to deploy a new Tom Cat app for 1.0 right now. Maybe someday.
Performance is much better. The engine spewed out a 5000-line work this morning in less than 10 minutes. Concurrency seems not to be a problem, but then again, it never does during development.
This version of the software is very much a tool. The quality of the poetry is a function of the inputs into the engine, explained on the help page.
Comments, bug reports, and criticism are actively encouraged.
Thanks to all who sent comments on the real beta.
