I agree with Todd's suggestion. Put it in some other open-source
system so that you can have maximum ease of control over the project.
I think that we would happily add a link to your stuff to our
website, though.

Hi Jonathan,
Unlike Hadoop, thrift doesn't have much of a concept of a contrib/
dir. If
you make changes to Thrift itself (ie the code generator or the
language
binding libraries) then you would open a JIRA and post a patch.
It sounds like your project is standalone and just happens to
depend on
Thrift. In that case I think you'd be best off trying to open
source it
separately, probably using a service like Google Code or GitHub (my
personal
preference)
Hope that helps,

We've developed a Thrift service that provides a common client
interface to
distributed file systems, similar to the HDFS-APIs project which
is part of
the Hadoop contrib package, but designed to support a broader
array of
DFS's. Currently we support Hadoop and Sector, and given time and
resources
would like to implement support for KFS.
We plan to open source this project, and would like to explore
contributing
it to Thrift. We've searched the wiki and mailing lists for info
on the
process to contribute a project to Thrift, but haven't been able
to find
anything. If this is something that folks feel would have value as a
contributed project, can somebody provide us with details on the
process we
need to follow?
Thanks.
