I'll sync up with Oleg and takes the notes out of SVN and put them in a proposal. At this point Greg, Jan, Jesse, myself, Oleg and soon Shane will have their fingers in the pie. This is a pretty significant effort and should be documented. It's mostly the processes and algorithms that need to be vetted.

Yes, I think that's essential to getting others involved. The previous discussion about the SAT solver was a helpful starting point, and I like the direction it is taking, but more info needs to be spelled out.

Here are my current questions I'd like to see addressed by it:
- spell out the problems in the current artifact mechanism already solved by it (eg, conflict resolution, reduced metadata consultation, deterministic?)
- what infrastructure/metadata changes it will require server side
- how/if deployment will be handled or delegated wagon
- how it's going to be integrated into Maven proper

If I can see a path to adoption for it I'm more likely to get involved myself.

Anyway, I am interested in hearing how folks want to address this in
mercury so any thoughts are more then welcome. I am not sure how much
mercury has been discussed on the dev list up to this point but I am
assuming that most of you have an inkling of what the goal of mercury
is...if not ask away and someone will chime in :)

Thanks for getting the ball rolling Jesse!

Cheers,
Brett
