Per my previous message, hopefully Sam can dig out what he had envisioned. I will search for some proposed examples of API changes that I had come up with. > The other blocker with ThreadStopErrors in Extlib::Pooling has > actually been mostly resolved by Dirkjan recently in my extlib fork: > http://github.com/extlib/dkubb.

Its a relief that the TreadStopErrors look like they've been overcome. Headius (Charles Nutter) has offered support from the JRuby team if we need expertise in the area of threading.. if we can come up with a list of issues/questions/doubts (if there are any now) and throw them his way, then that would be a way forward. The fact that the InMemory adapter is also working well in JRuby means that once DO support is working, then we should not be far off from working support throughout the Merb+DO stack.
