| Thanks Craig,
I quickly looked through the wiki, i guess i need to spend some more time
with it to properly understand what is going on. I am not sure about the
follow-on directions yet, so cannot comment on what specific areas of JDO i
would be interested in. I need to figure out what the specific areas are .
Will read the spec and the wiki carefully and then will get back to you as
to what i am interested in.
Regards

The shear speed of this project makes it somewhat harder to "catch up on" as a
aspiring contributor.
I suggest that the core team take a moment and list down these "follow-on
directions" that you can see. This might create a bit of "Ah! I can do that."
and knowing that 36 hours later someone in the core team has already grabbed
it and forging ahead.
To me it is not totally clear the scope of this project. One side says it is
about TCK development and the RI is over at jpox.org (what was the reason
again?), yet Maven support seems to be covered over here. I can think of
additional tools for Eclipse, but not entirely sure if those are valid for
this project (also unsure if they exist elsewhere);
* Enhancer integration into Eclipse.
* Schema generator in Eclipse.
* Graphical mapping of value objects to existing databases.
* Form editing of jdo directives.
* Validation that PC classes are properly compiled and jarred.
* Those little "badges" on file icons to indicate PC classes.
I can also imagine documentation tools, that generates graphical view of the
the valueobject <-> database relationships, as well as pure RDBMS
relationships. Would be nice if that was integrated with the Javadocs of the
same sources.
My 2 cents.
Cheers
Niclas
