[infinispan-dev] Interested in lending a hand

[Olaf Bergner]

So I will implement Spring's CacheManager interface first. After that, I 
will have a look at ISPN-78. It looks highly interesting, yet not 
exactly trivial. Which is good and bad ;-) I'll see how it goes. Anyway, 
the list of open issues for 5.1.0.Final should prove sufficient to keep 
me entertained for a while.

Cheers,
Olaf
