help for new developers

[shahbaz chaudhary <c_...@hotmail.com>]

Someone recently requested design documents...something more developer 
oriented than what is under "Manuals' and something more indepth than the 
recent presentations and Apache and Colorado Software summits.
I would also like to make a suggestion.  As developers with greater exposure 
to derby/cloudescape source code develop new functions, perhaps they could 
also do a descriptive write-up of what they change, what they had to keep in 
mind, etc.
I, myself, would eventually like to experiment with some CUBE/ROLLUP 
functionality...but traversing the code is not trivial.

Perhaps example implementations of relitively simple things like:
1. HAVING clause
2. distinct aggregates
3. some storage/access/io level examples such as the ability to read a text 
file with arbitray delimiters

Look foward to it!

(by the way, is there a way to receive a single digest of messages a day?  
Otherwise this email list will further fill up my email account.)

I tried to describe that in the second paragraph on 
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/derby_mail.html, but that explanation 
I concocted doesn't look quite right, so I'll fix it.

I just sent an empty email to derby-dev-info@db.apache.org. From the 
response, it looks like all you need to do is send an empty email to 
derby-dev-digest-subscribe@db.apache.org 
<ma...@db.apache.org> to get the daily digest.
