Marc,
I totally agree. Though I am new to jBoss I am impressed with the product
and look forward to contributing as much as possible. I think what is
really needed is a comprehensive task list that can be managed from. This
will facilitate getting to market faster and getting good people involved
when they offer their assistance.

Well we are off to javaONE (starting tomorrow), the woodstock of computer
science.
Well when I say we are "off to" i just mean that we will "walk down" to
javaONE (we are 3 blocks away;-) (ok rickard and Juha are flying in...).
Anyway the point of this brief note is to say that I have been dreaming of
EJB2.0 support.
I believe the power of open source can be clearly proven on a project like
this one. It seems to me that the current pluggable architecture will
allow
for Multi-Bees operation on EJB 2.0 development. The code base is there
and
the container architecture is solid. We can really grow from there, I know
it and we need to shift gears and leave the industry behind. I also know
that mucho folks on the list are waiting for the right occasion to jump on
the dev bandwagon.
Part of what I will do at J1 with Rickard, juha and Norbert is figure out
how modular the enhancements to the framework are and the
"time-feasibility"
equation thingy and put out a list. We will be heavily recruiting in these
branches of development.
I know that the message beans are not that far (norbert's spyderMQ is there
already, kudos to him) and that will go in the container, heavy duty. The
OR stuff is really appealing and there are many enhancement that will come,
I remember that paper of the other day and we will take a "no-nonsense"
approach as we extend ENTity support. EQL is interesting and I know there
are some "theorists" out there that will have a blast in the parsing ,
query
field (norbert did a simple query/intepreter parser for spyderMQ).
I hate to sound patronizing, but I profoundly and honestly believe that we
are in a unique position in time in the server java industry and
development. This is infrastructure, under GPL to make sure it will remain
infrastructure, and we have all the pieces together. A clean, large and
understood container code base, a group of highly talented developers on
the
list (most of the industry listening too) and a simple clearly understood
finite challenge ahead of us in the form of EJB2.0 support.
The board will start as many projects, bring on as many people, give out as
many RW access as needed but like I said, this is the occasion to show that
Open Source development really is a SCALABLE process, and we will try to
demonstrate it yet another time.
WE NEED ******YOU******

Let's shift gears...
