Looks like I am going to try an hour later next week in order to say hi to Andrea. Frank stopped in and we had a look a MemoryDataStore; and added a constructor to allow him to start off with an empty collection. Frank is hopefully going to test that a while and let me know. Andrea also stopped in; the Filter transition work had stalled out - so I am likely to spend some of this month working on that. The 2.6-M1 release is tagged; but does not build since I cannot remember the magic to start the build process since our maven build is a bit circular.
