[hibernate-dev] Shards

On https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/407 Adriano has started work on porting Shards (based on the last release source) to the latest 4.1 code base. Shards really became a dump and run, which is why we did not even bother moving it over from SVN to GitHub when we migrated the other projects. The folks who developed it moved on and none of the development team really know its code. Bottom line, what is really needed is for someone to own that. I asked Adriano on that pull request if that was something he was willing to take on. He said yes. So the question becomes how do we proceed? Do we let him (and anyone else who joins in to help finish the migration) finish the work in his personal repo and move that over to under the Hibernate community when that work is complete? Other suggestions? -- steve(a)hibernate.org http://hibernate.org
