Our failure rate on recent Hudson runs has been pretty bad, but I
believe that all of these failures are because our jobs are running
out of memory. I've modified the job configurations to increase the
memory, so hopefully this will fix the problem.

Believe it or not, but we may have gotten back on our "release often"
schedule. We'd like to narrow the current 0.5 effort for a quick
release on May 27, focusing on the following items:
Correct the federation connector behavior and update the repository
examples (DNA-403)
Add events to the connectors/graph (DNA-252) and update the
Observation Service (DNA-404)
Change the sequencer system to use the Graph API and to no longer rely
on a JCR implementation (DNA-401)
Update the Getting Started doc and examples with the new configuration
and to remove dependency on Jackrabbit (DNA-405)
An initial stab at the RESTful service (DNA-55)
A number of small, independent low-hanging fruit as needed/wanted
All other tasks would be pushed to 0.6, which would also have another
very quick cycle with an emphasis on search/query, the Eclipse plugin
(maybe initial focused version), and anything outstanding for the
RESTful service. 1.0 would follow shortly after that with full JCR
compliance.
I've already retargeted a slew of the 0.5 issues into 0.6, but this
isn't set in stone. Basically, we've just kept those things that are
being actively worked and are able to be finished in a short period.
If you think something should be kept in 0.5, please shout.
Thoughts?
Best regards,
Randall
I mentioned on our blog[1] that one of the DNA-related proposals for
Google Summer of Code 2009 has been accepted as part of the program.
Bojidar Penchev put together a fantastic proposal to build a DDL
sequencer. Bojidar is a 3rd year undergrad student majoring in
computer science at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" and has
had several internships working with DDL grammars and ANTLR. So this
task is right up his alley.
Bojidar is also our newest committer on the JBoss DNA project. His
username on IRC (and JBoss.org) is 'dcodeboy', so if you see him in
#jbossdna, please say hello and introduce yourself. Welcome to the
team, Bojidar!
Best regards,
Randall Hauch
