Welcome Etienne to the Qpid project. It would be great if you could start sharing your ideas/experience with us.
However I think Marnie's suggestion is good and could be done in parallel to the clustering discussion. If Etienne can have a stab at a few starter JIRA's it will have the following benefits. a) Allow an opportunity to get familiar with the codebase. b) Start building towards your karma (and by the time Etienne gets around to helping clustering with code he may already be a committer.) c) Allow an opportunity to get familiar with the Apache way if u haven't worked on an Apache project before. d) Provides a way to build credibility among community members.
