Andrei,
Thanks for organizing this! I have a few thoughts:
- community -
Encourage those who are active in whirr to help spread the word. For
example, if there is an event or meetup on nsql-x, have a lightning talk
there. If there is a book in progress, get a page or two on whirr. If
there are books, papers, presentations, interviews available, link to them
on our site. That's enough for now :)
- features -
It is hard to go back and sweep up after a change across a dozen
services. I'd focus on core features like dynamic resizing,
auto-calculation of hardware requirements, integration with tools like
puppet, pallet, saving state of services (generic snapshotting to
blobstore). This type of code requires attention over weeks, a harder
problem than implementing services, and takes good advantage of your months
to offer!
- documentation -
Tom has a nice slideshare on writing whirr services. This should turn
into a wiki.
More later!
-Adrian
