Summer of Code
Would you guys be interested in submitting an application to get some
students working on Cayenne over the summer? Seems like it might be a
good way to drum up some more support and get the name out there a bit
more. I'm not sure how it works being an ASF project now, though.

Mike, do you know whether Apache comes up with a combined description
of potential SoC projects across all communities or every ASF project
does it on their own? Do you know where exactly such discussions are
happening @Apache?
I read a bit more on the rules and it looks like the students are
free to propose their own projects (to the mentors??), but mentoring
organizations may come up with a list of things to choose from as
well. I think we should use this opportunity to try out a few cool
ideas that otherwise we won't due to the lack of time. Here is what I
have:
1. A generally usable Java Swing client application(s) based on
Remote Object Persistence technology. A working prototype of such
application is also acceptable, as we can use it as a Cayenne
example. Participants are encouraged to come up with their own
application ideas. Here is a few suggested directions:
* A general data management application
* A multiplayer Java game (using ROP chat channels and shared
sessions)
2. Expose CWS as standard WebService (with WSDL, etc.)
3. Implement a generalized full-text database search query based on
database-specific facilities ... or a DB-neutral case with Lucene.
What I have in mind is this - an ability to mark certain model
attributes as "searchable", and then do what it takes on the DB or
Lucene end to index those fields and then create a custom query
(FullTextSearchQuery implements Query) that can find DataObjects
based on a full-text search criteria.
I am showing my ignorance with (3). Maybe Lucene already has such
facility and I am reinventing the wheel? In any case it would be nice
to have a search engine integrated with Cayenne out of the box.

BTW, I got some feedback from Lucene folks:

Integrating Cayenne with Compass might be what we need.

That would be cool, but don't feel guilty or anything - this is a
volunteer project. I am very active while I can maintain my current
freelance lifestyle. Next time I get on a full-time project, my
participation will go down.

I'm a little of everything right now ;-) Ideally, I won't be a student in
about three weeks though, as I finish up my thesis. I'll take a look and
see whether graduating students are still eligible.
With that being said, I would like to apologize to everyone once again for
my general lack of participation these days. As I shift my life around in
the coming month, I should actually have more time than ever to work on
Cayenne.

I just seeded the Wiki with two of the Cayenne ideas that I mentioned
previously. I need more feedback on my third idea of a
FullTextSearchQuery (I may need to ask on Lucene list).
Please suggest more ideas.
BTW, Kevin, are you a student right now? You will qualify for the
Google grant then (unless Apache places some restrictions on
committer participation??)

Another project I'm active on (Derby) is also asking. I just posted a
question to community@.
btw, committers can subscribe to community@ -- see
http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html . ASF archives are at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-community/ .

Sounds interesting. So how does it work? Do we need to come up with
an idea of a project and post it through Google for the volunteer
students to sign up?

ASF projects participated in the Summer of Code last year. Or at
least MyFaces did. I seem to recall that we had quite a bit of work
donated through it.
