[infinispan-dev] Interested in lending a hand

[Manik Surtani]

Great! If you are a Spring guy (or even if not!), you could implement 

	http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.0.M1/javadoc-api/index.html?org/springframework/cache/CacheManager.html

using Infinispan, and contribute it back to Spring ... we'd really appreciate that and it would be a great start for you to get used to working with Infinispan.  :-)

Then, perhaps something more meaty like:

	https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-78

might be fun... or if you like Linux/C/JNI:

	https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-517

Otherwise, do any of these look interesting to you?

	https://issues.jboss.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12313236

Cheers
