If anyone is looking for a reasonable simple self contained fun bit of work to do how about a new maven plugin to run SCA contributions. The archetypes we have for creating Tuscany webapps have the Jetty plugin configured so that you can run them by simply doing "mvn jetty:run" (see http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANYWIKI/Tuscany+Maven+Archetypes). We could have the same type of thing for running SCA JAR and ZIP contributions with "mvn tuscany:run" (or mvn sca:run?). I'd help get started if anyone is interested, or look at the Jetty plugin for ideas: http://svn.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty/trunk/jetty-maven-plugin/.
