Hey Raghu, I’ve to say that your proposal do impressed me a lot, very glad to see you come out from so many candidates. Let’s start the Dubbo journey now.
To achieve the goal, i think you should spend some time to get familiar with Dubbo first: what is dubbo, the key features provided by dubbo, how it works, etc. As this project is related with serialization frameworks, you’d better give a thorough research on existing open-source serialization frameworks, their characteristics: performance, market share, API or even design principles. After you have a general idea of dubbo and it’s design principles, spend more time on the SPI mechanism, this is one of the key point to finish this project. What is dubbo and how it works: 1. Quick Start: http://dubbo.apache.org/ <http://dubbo.apache.org/> 2. Blog introducing dubbo: http://www.baeldung.com/dubbo <http://www.baeldung.com/dubbo> 3. User's Book: http://dubbo.apache.org/books/dubbo-user-book-en/ <http://dubbo.apache.org/books/dubbo-user-book-en/> 4. Developer’s Book: http://dubbo.apache.org/books/dubbo-dev-book-en/ <http://dubbo.apache.org/books/dubbo-dev-book-en/> 5. Github Wiki (building): https://github.com/apache/incubator-dubbo/wiki <https://github.com/apache/incubator-dubbo/wiki> The Dubbo SPI mechanism: 1. Standard JDK SPI 2. Dubbo SPI: http://dubbo.apache.org/books/dubbo-dev-book-en/SPI.html <http://dubbo.apache.org/books/dubbo-dev-book-en/SPI.html> 3. Dubbo Serialization and existing extensions: https://github.com/apache/incubator-dubbo/tree/master/dubbo-serialization <https://github.com/apache/incubator-dubbo/tree/master/dubbo-serialization> One active developer from community, named 雷威 in Chinese, says he’d like to help with this project, i think we can work with him to figure out the detailed plans and milestones needed to finish this project. I’ve told him about the dev community, let’s see if he has any suggestions. Got any questions, feel free to ask the community for help.
