I have put together an initial draft of the persistence module page [1]. I've outlined the major issues that this module needs to address along with some rough design notes. The next step is to identify what features to tackle first by sketching out a roadmap (alpha1, alpha2, etc with bullets next to them). I'll take the first stab at it.

- If you are a current Seam committer interested in helping with this module, please add your name to the table and feel free to revise or add to the design notes.

- If you are not a Seam committer, you can start by helping with the design notes and we can work you up to committer status as you demonstrate commitment and expertise.

Like the security module, the persistence module is very important because it fills a gap that still exists in Java EE (transactions for non-EJB managed beans). Developers are mostly likely going to need this module to write an app, primarily if they are trying to avoid using EJBs. I still believe that we should advocate EJB 3.1, though, despite working on this module. We could consider it a half-way house for people who have been burned by EJB in the past :)
