Radiant "Corex" Branch Merges With Official Branch.

For several months I have been working with John W Long on Radiant. In order to introduce several improvements to the content management system I had had created a branch called "corex." The core features of my branch have been now successfully merged back into the official developer tree. There are a couple outstanding features that didn't make it but overall I am very satisfied with the outcome. Notably, "corex" marked a major milestone in the project architecture. Foremost, the new tagging system supports modularization and polymorphism and models several key features of ASP.NET 2.0 server controls. Another improvement is a the redesign of the dynamic page database model. I strongly feel the Radiant developer team is very progressive and the core developers have a positive attitude toward change. Each team member contributes with a different skill set and it is good to see the project grow. It's a nice piece of software.
