What should we be concentrating our efforts on in SDO Java.  I posted
a while back to suggest we think about the content of a next release.
We've had a few fixes go in recently,  but I'd like to see more
consideration of release content before we crank the handle.  It would
be great to see a balance of new features and bug fixes.


For my part I want to get back to ...
TUSCANY-1527    Allow for custom data binding of DataObjects in a Swing UI
TUSCANY-1493    Snapshot mapping framework to convert DataObjects to and
from Java objects
as soon as I can.  And I believe that at least 1527 can move beyond
proof of concept in my sandbox,  and become part of the trunk.

I've been taking a pass through the SDO java JIRA backlog,  and seeing
from my perspective what's simple / tricky / big / high priority etc,
etc.  Of course simplicity is in the eye of the beholder,  for
example, I don't view the OSGi topic as simple as I don't have
experience there,  but someone out there may find it so; if so please
speak up. The same goes for priority, etc. As you might imagine, in my
estimation there are no simple high priority JIRAs left,  but there
are a few simple medium priority ones, or simple low priority ones
that would be good to just get out of the way.

These are ....

Simple Starters
===========
TUSCANY-1360    New SDOUtil: Getting the enumeration facet
TUSCANY-1178    DynamicTypesFromSchemaTestCase expecting *Object types to
be created
TUSCANY-1263    XMLEqualityChecker too strict
TUSCANY-1359    New SDOUtil: Upper and lower bound on properties where
'isMany' is true
TUSCANY-1384    SequenceAddOpenTest.setUp() needs to check if type exists
before creating it
TUSCANY-1545    Change default XML encoding to "UTF-8".
TUSCANY-1659    SDO DateConversion test cases fail under linux


Particular Skills JIRAs
=================
For anyone with JavaJet experience there's

TUSCANY-1483    Static SDO generator: problem with elements named internal*
which would be simple

For someone with maven build experience there
TUSCANY-257     recently added file Interface2JavaGenerator.java is not
compatible with JDK 1.4

For someone with Grobu-Utils and maven skills there's ...
TUSCANY-1182    Add multi-threaded test case for data object creation

Someone with Axis2 skills
TUSCANY-1038    SDO databinding for Axis2
   (This may be better done within the Axis2 project)

OSGi Skills
TUSCANY-1293    SDO does not work with OSGi


Biting off something a bit Bigger
========================
For somebody wanting something a bit bigger to take on there's

TUSCANY-1192    Preserve demand created global properties
TUSCANY-1361    New Util: Validation
TUSCANY-1021    CopyHelper and EqualityHelper should handle ChangeSummary
TUSCANY-1817    Improve SDO test infrastructure to re-use/re-execute most
dynamic tests as static tests


This isn't a full list, and I may post more soon.  Please feel free to
disagree with my assessment and speak up with your own priorities.
Better still step forward to help fix something.  I'd be only too
pleased to help you understand what's required.

Kelvin.
