That may be true, but IBM didn't create Cloudscape, they acquired the technology. http://incubator.apache.org/derby/#Derby+History The Cloudscape development model has always been light on design documents, the design was intended to be captured in the code, its javadoc and general comments in the code. Functional specifications were written and they are all reflected in the user documentation. > Did IBM donate their cloudscape architecture and design documents to Apache? > > If not, I suggest that we ask them to donate these documents.

You just did :-) I'll try and find some time to look to see if anything is available and useful, however we have been busy donating the code, and then the tests and now more code for a new network client. My guess is that there is nothing that exists that would help people understand an overall view of the system, they may be some focussed papers on certain "edge" areas. Of course any of the IBM developers on the list with Cloudscape experience are always willing to answer design or code questions, and I like the ideas that shahbaz chaudhary proposes in another e-mail.
