I have finally found the time to put a bit of development effort into the AnIML Tools project again.  Today version 0.2.0 was release and hopefully will make the introduction to AnIML formatted files a little easier for new comers.
This release was many usability improvements.  A much improved installer in now implemented, an online help system has been built into the project.  There are also now direct links to the feature and bug reports on the project's sourceforge page.

Some links for those looking for more information about the event:
