> Thanks for any guidance. First, please don't post here in a followup to an unrelated message. You're starting a new topic, so you start a new thread. Second, do you have or plan a test suite that will demonstrate the problem you're looking to solve and tell us when it's solved? The forum to discuss your work is indeed this list. Once you have ideas firm enough to merit technical discussion, you are of course welcome to post them here, whether it be to seek comment on ideas, help with work in progress, or to contribute finished work back upstream. If you want to introduce core changes you'll of course have to explain and justify them. Alternatively if you can do it all in a plugin (as the JIRA issues suggests) then you can just go ahead autonomously. You should also note that any substantial contribution would need IP clearance from yourselves and your clients. Details at www.apache.org. Having said all that, if you are indeed making a significant contribution in a tricky area, that's great and welcome. Looking forward to it! -- Nick Kew
