[dna-dev] JBoss DNA 0.4 planning

[Randall Hauch]

I've created a 0.5 release, and pushed from 0.4 to 0.5 a number of  
issues that aren't going to be a focus in 0.4, per the discussion in  
this thread.

Please note that this is my interpretation of this discussion thread,  
and is not final.  If an issue that you want to work on is not in 0.4,  
please add it and assign it to yourself.  Likewise, if there's an  
issue assigned to you that you will not be working on, please either  
unassign it or move it to 0.5 (or Future Releases).

Please see below for specifics about the areas of focus for 0.4:

Stefano has volunteered to work on that and to coordinate things if  
others want to help in this area.  This is a major focus, so the more  
people working here the better!  Please feel free to add additional  
issues (and sub-issues) to reflect what needs to be done, and please  
keep "Assigned to" fields up-to-date.

Serge will continue working working on the SVN connector (DNA-36 and  
some sub-issues), and I'm working on a relational graph store  
(DNA-40).  We also want to complete the support for events in the  
connectors (DNA-252).

I haven't heard back from anyone regarding this (DNA-73).  It would be  
great if we could complete this, since we'll probably want this as  
part of DNA-91 (node type management).  Dan, perhaps you can fill in  
DNA-73 with your latest status and where you stopped.  Thanks!

This is DNA-55, and Sergiy has some great ideas and thoughts.  JPAV  
also thought he'd like to help here.  Please start putting your  
thoughts and plans on the issue.

Let me know if I'm missing something!

Best regards,

Randall
