Hi, I looked at the JIRA tickets and think many of the are obsolete because they are very old or for different versions. I'm willing to help but currently do not know where to start. I'm currently trying to understand the codebase, but I'm a bit lost. I do not really know which parts are more historic , which important. If some of you know some specific issues that should be fixed and may be fixed without changing the complete codebase, please tell me or better give me the JIRA link. Or if there are some major tasks that are needed to bring the project forward, tell me. Olivier mentioned switching the persistence library to JPA is one thing that may be tried, because of some JDK incompatibilities with the current implementation. I will look at this, but it would be helpful, if someone can give some hints what components may be involved in such a change.
I would like to keep the product stable working and I'm more interested in fixing bugs and improving the usability. I think major changes that break the build and does not produce a running product for a long time will be fatal for the project. Another question: The project page shows a lot of committers, are there any of them still active or is this list more like a gallery of ancestral committers? And who keeps the automatic build running? Greetings Martin
