As I'm sure you're all aware there are two articles already available on Castor-JDO. These make for excellent references, but one with even more detail would be greatly appreciated.As an aside, what are the requirements to become a contributor to the project? -----Original Message----- From: Bicking, Dave B243 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 11:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Article about Castor-JDO As a developer who potentially has need of Castor-JDO, I'm watching this group for information regularly. I'm not currently reading the JDO posts in detail, because I'm hoping our company will allow us to use XML. I have a team member reviewing JDO now, and if we have problems with it, I'm confident the answers can be found here. Our schedule is tight, so I doubt we will be able to contriubute to fixes, but I'll see what I can do. I'm extremely interested in seeing a Castor-JDO article. A nice SQL-DB specific FAQ would be nice too (I'll scan the site for one, it might exist). We'll probably end up using MS-SQL Server, so our interests will be in that area. Since I'm seeing many JDO posts, I have to agree with Keith, it looks like it's pretty active. -- David-----Original Message----- From: Keith Visco [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 5:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Article about Castor-JDO Hi Hugh, Thanks for your concern, however Castor JDO *IS* being maintained. Bruce Synder, the current Castor JDO lead, along with others, such as Mickaël Guessant, are handling the maintenance, bug fixes, development of Castor JDO. Keep in mind that the work done on Castor is on a volunteer basis. Some volunteers will have more time to spend then others, but I can assure that there are people who are generously contributing to and maintaining Castor JDO. As far as where our efforts are focused, my efforts are focused, and always have been, almost entirely on Castor XML, because that's where my interests are and the fact that I primarily deal with XML in my daily job. But... there are people whose efforts are focused entirely on Castor JDO. Due to the differences in the amount of time that people can contribute to the project, Castor XML and Castor JDO will see un-even amounts of growth. Just because one side of the project has more activity than the other, doesn't mean that the other side isn't being worked on. Thanks, --Keith Hugh Winkler wrote:I think the silence speaks for itself. I don't think JDO is actively being maintained? Correct me if I am wrong here somebody. Anyway it has severe basic bugs that are not being worked on. I don't want at all to disparage the Castor team's work. The XML work is great. Looks like that's where their efforts currently are focused. I'm guessing JDO is not strategic for them right now. I think it's dangerous though, to leave JDO out there and foster the impression that new projects ought to use it. It ought to be labeled "experimental" or "deprecated" or something, so that developers don't get the wrong impression about its suitability for production systems. Hugh -----Original Message----- From: Keld Helbig Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 3:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [castor-dev] Article about Castor-JDO I'm currently preparing an article about Castor-JDO for a large Java web-site. The article is a beginners tutorial to Castor-JDO. Since I haven't got practical experience with Castor, I'd like to get in contact with a skilled Castor-JDO person that could help me answer some technical questions. I've tried to put some of my questions here in the newsgroup, but without much success. If you're interested in helping me the next week or so I'd be great. I'll of course give you due credit in my article. ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: If you have received this e-mail in error, please immediately notify the sender by e-mail at the address shown.
