Hi Nanik,
Sorry to burden you with the OpenSource trivia :-).
Anyway, normally the motivation to do something "OpenSource" is a
personal need of some kind. For instance you want to use Cayenne for
something and it is missing feature X, or feature Y is broken, or simply
you would think that having a feature Z would be cool :-).
So basically if you can find an area that is interesting to you, and you
have the ideas how to make it better, you suggest those ideas on this
list, fight for them to get past "lazy consensus" if needed, and finally
write the code.
To give you some idea of what we are working on now, the "hot" areas in
Cayenne development are:
- Implementing Inheritance
- Porting and testing with other databases
- Improving the Modeler
- Implementing Cayenne DataMaps (and projects in general) as
event-driven self-maintained structures.
- Writing the docs
- Implementing StoredProcedure support
- Implementing streaming BLOBs
You can dig any of these, but you may (and most likely, will) have ideas
of your own, totally unrelated to the above.
