Hi Arnaud, I think you've misunderstood here. It's great to have Etienne onboard, and ideal to have someone with the skills he has working with us.
I think that a good understanding of the broker would be a great start (possibly vital ??) for anyone who'd like to be working on the clustering so that's why I'm suggesting some familiarisation. The JIRA has a link to Alan Conway's design notes fyi. Working on Apache Qpid is also not like other things (apologies Etienne if you're an old Apache hand) - so doing something small is a good intro to that. We've discussed in the past encouraging people to provide smaller pieces of work to get started - rather than the one JIRA with big code patch approach. This is, of course, only my view. As you'll have no doubt seen, I'm trying to be helpful here. I think you've misinterpreted what I've said for some reason.
