Well, sort of. I'm *willing* to work on all or most of the 217 open Cassandra tickets, but since I don't have time to do them all I need to prioritize aggressively. My motivation here is to get more data for that prioritization, which so far has been mostly guided by intuition. It sounds like your implicit assumption is that jira + mailing list are a good enough approximation for who-is-using-what, but I'm not sure that's the case. -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair, Apache Cassandra co-founder of DataStax, the source for professional Cassandra support http://www.datastax.com
