Oh - and in case any potential mentors lurking out there would like to know what ManifoldCF really does, and where it fits in in the broader picture, you can look at the first chapter of ManifoldCF in Action for free here: http://www.manning.com/wright/ . This describes the problem space pretty well, I think.
Long-term future plans involve extending ManifoldCF so it can scale in a distributed fashion, which will require initial work to use Zookeeper as the cross-process synchronization mechanism, as well as building a distributed queue across multiple database instances. Also, ManifoldCF has rather unique requirements as far as testing infrastructure is concerned, which could arguably lead to other spinoff Apache projects someday.
