[hibernate-dev] Shards

[Steve Ebersole]

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?
