Yes, I have the same feeling with Thiago. While working those staffs of OpenEJB, I do learn a lot from it, especially when you know how the underlying system work, it will make better understanding for EJB technology. Also, I got many good suggestions from David, Karan and other OpenEJB team members, thanks ! One suggestion is that, it is better to have a contribution group, those members in the group have the right to assign those JIRAs to themselves.
