Hi Nicu Welcome. It would be great to have you work on Tuscany. As you've probably worked out, from a Java SCA point of view (which is what I'm interested in at the moment), our stable code base is 1.x which is based on the OSOA SCA v1.0 specs [1]. The other Simon's just prepping an 1.6.1 release there with some fixes. Our 2.x code base is where we've been working in the last year or so to update the runtime so that it implements the OASIS SCA v1.1 specs [2] (The OSOA specs were donated to OASIS for standardization) . We've got 2.x to the stage where all the core OASIS SCA function is supported and so we're trying to get a beta release out at the moment (I'm rolling the RC2 now) with a view to getting a 2.0 release out in the near future. There are lots of things still to do though and the JIRA system has lost of issues recorded. What we need to do once we get the beta out it tidy the JIRA issues so we're clear on what we need to fix to get to a final 2.0 release out. There are some docs on the web site. The 1.x docs [3] are probably more complete but we're slowly building up the info in the 2.x docs [4]. If you want specific pointers or just want to ask question don't hesitate to post. Feel free to pick anything that takes your fancy to work on. If you want some pointers to things that need attention than again feel free to ask [1] http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Specifications [2] http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/committees [3] http://tuscany.apache.org/java-sca-documentation-menu.html [4] http://tuscany.apache.org/documentation-2x/ Hope that helps.
