Hi, OpenJPA architecture allows extensible feature derivations for various purposes such as non-relational datastores, customized mapping strategies support for loosely-typed data structures etc. To promote contributions from wider community of users and developers, here is a proposal: a) A 'contrib' space should be created in OpenJPA SVN repository for sharing any such contributions with the community. b) The entires in the 'contrib' space should neither imapct the build process or nor be a part of the distribution package. However, the entries must be available with requisite artifacts (e.g. source, build script, docs) for interested parties to build the extension and use with core openjpa downloads. c) A non-committer should be able to contribute to the 'contrib' space
d) the contributions must adhere to the coding conventions and other software conventions followd by OpenJPA Regards -- Pinaki Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.
