Hi,

I work for an free software company, Linagora, and with my team, we are working to have James fit our needs. Two of our interns already submitted some code regarding Cassandra support and some bugfixes on James itself (Philippe Benoit and Benoit Tellier). We are making our team bigger and have multiple goals that I'd like to share with you:
1. have James 3.0 released !
2. writing backends to run James on Cassandra/ElasticSearch/Kafka
3. write some mailet or other extensions to match our products functional needs


Great!

Could you list the opened jira with contributions? I will review and commit.
Benoit Tellier will reply to this mail to list his waiting contributions.

I've just created MAILBOX-221 and MAILBOX-222 to bring the changes about jdk versions.

So we are currently working to contribute all the code we wrote for goal 2.

In this regard, I'd like to know several things :

- I see in james-parent 1.8.3-SNAPSHOT that James targets java 6. What about pushing it to java 7 now that Java 6 is end-of-life ?


It would be better to release 3.0.0 on java 6 and migrate to java 7 for the next release.
Great, let's do this. MAILBOX-221 will enforce this (for mailbox).

- is it acceptable to contribute backends that require java 8 (with some magic to disable build if java < 8). We would really like writing modern Java for our modules !


Sure, but it would be released for 3.0.0+
jdk7 or jdk8 will be subject to discussion.

See MAILBOX-222 then.

- Could James projet make use of apache integration (https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/improved_integration_between_apache_and) with github to accept contributions ? I know some others apache projects amend their contribution guidelines to make it possible ( https://mahout.apache.org/developers/github.html ). We could just import their practices into James, don't you think ?


+1

I've just tried this github integration and it seems to work (it adds a comment into related ticket). Where do you want we document this process ?
