[hobbit] Hobbit Features

[Rich Smrcina]

Ryan,

In my Hobbit presentations I always point people to the Hobbit 
architectural description that Henrik posted to the list some time ago. 
  It is in a message here:

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/11/msg00315.html

It gives good insight into the design of Hobbit.

Like others have said, scan the archives.  There are a number of 
instances of people posting messages of pitting Hobbit and competing 
packages, often having the best success with Hobbit and how much their 
company did (or potentially could) save by doing so.

Best of luck and if there is anything we can do for you, don't hesitate 
to ask.
