Oops sorry. Here is the project proposal.
I am not sure how to get a link to this from google web app.
Project
=======
Qpid Java broker configuration
Motivation
==========
I like to work with Java and XML technologies for sometime now I am having
fun with it. Even though I do not have any previous experience with open
source development, I like to contribute to open source and to the
communities around them. I hope my experience with the related technologies
together with myenthusiasm will produce something good for the open source
community.
Project Proposal
================
Apache Qpid is a multiple language implementation of Advanced Message
Queueing Protocol (AMQP). Qpid project has multiple configurations in
different files. This project is to refactor the existing Qpid Java Broker
configuration into a more elegant xml schema, with xsd, covering all
existing configuration options and allowing for extension. Additionally I
will also implement a module to validate broker configuration files, which
could be run standalone i.e. before starting a broker, to check that they're
well formed and validate against the xsd.*
Project Timeline
================
[April, 14: accepted students known]
Familiarize and getting myself into Qpid
- learning on AMQP
- using Qpid and understanding its functionality by running examples
- looking at the existing functionality with respect to my project
- working with the qpid community to better understand the requirements
[May, 26 coding starts]
- start the refactoring process
- propose a schema and other related configurations to be implemented
- implement the proposal with testing code
[July, 7-14 mid term evaluation]
- include specific mentor feedback in to the implementation
- improve the existing code with more tests
- implement the validation module and more tests for that
- start working on documentation
- integration with the main project
[August, 11 suggested pencil 'down' date]
- final changes to implementation and documentation
- fixing integration issues, if any
[August, 18 final evaluations]
