What's all that Usergrid Github activity?

[Dave <sn...@gmail.com>]

In case you are wondering what all those Github comment notices are about.
There are three areas that I'm aware of work right now:

1) Fixes and ongoing development of SDKs and the Portal done in the master
branch. There should be a JIRA for most of these changes and a PR for every
single one.

2) Work towards getting an Apache release out (license headers, package
rename) also being done in master. There should be a JIRA and a PR for each
of these tasks.

3) Work on a new Core Persistence system is going on in the two-dot-o
branch. Two or three developers have been working full-time on this for a
couple of month now and that's why there are so many changes coming in on
the commit list. You won't see a lot of PRs on the Core Persistence work
because it's in a branch that will one day be PR'ed and merged into master.

There is a JIRA issue describing the Core Persistence work at a high-level:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/USERGRID-8

And we asked for feedback on our design doc a while back:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P0FJx4Q68IYaNsyEjD9XQQ_if6UK35UTEG9SkY_y2F4/edit?usp=sharing

We've also been creating JIRA issues for each part of the Core Persistence
system (e.g. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/USERGRID-55), but the
number of commits far outnumbers the number of JIRA issues we've created as
you might expect from this sort of new development.

Hope that helps.
