> * Ensure existing documentation (of which there is a

> that the documentation has been separated out.
> * v 0.1 - source code combination and rationalization (as
> per above).
> * v 0.2 - refactor components to JSR-299, while maintaining
> backwards compatibility for bootstrapping.
> * v 0.3 - JPA persistor ported from Hibernate to Apache
> OpenJPA.
> * v 0.4 - integrate with JMX for runtime management;
> provide profiling of client/server and webapps (eg
> serialization vs domain logic vs domain services vs object
> store timings).
> * v 0.5 - write contract tests for all major plugin APIs
> (object stores, authentication, authorization, remoting).
> 
> We also have a number of overarching goals:
> 
> * steadily improve the code coverage
> * clean up the APIs. Some of the code dates back to Java
> 1.1 (at one point in time the code was cross-compiled into
> J# code); so there is opportunity to use more generics and
> remove use of arrays
> * steadily reduce the amount of proprietary code, and the
> code size in general; use newer libraries such as
> google-collections more extensively.

> 
> * Dan Haywood, UK-based independent consultant. Contributor

> of the restructuring of the NO architecture for NOF 4.0.0.
> Also primary developer for sister projects plugins
> (!RestfulObjects viewer, !WicketObjects viewer, JPA
> !ObjectStore, !TestedObjects "viewer", Groovy support).
> Part-time consultant/advisor to the Irish Government project
> (since 2004); also a trainer/consultant in agile, Java, TDD

> 
> Additional committers are:
> 
> * Kevin Meyer, South Africa-based freelance developer and
