mailbox-hdfs update
Hello,
I have been quiet but I have done some things:
- did an initial push on the project, just the pom and the license files ( [0] )
- finished reading HDFS documentation
- almost done with all the forms required by Google.
- created an account on [1]
In the next few days I am planning to play with hadoop a little bit, I
will do as Eric suggested and use Mini(MR)Cluster and try to make a
simple spring based application to get the hang of it.
The idea is to follow what Eric said in [2],
If have no need for JIRA yet, but if I will need to use it, how should
I add issues as to not interfere with the rest of the project (use
gsoc or mailbox-hdfs label) ?
Also, can I test the mailbox without deploying a real server?
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Not to keen on sharing my whole life with disqus
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disqus)
Sharethis seems nicer, but I think I'll search a little bit more.

Also quite on my side for now.
This will change as I will take a kind of business/summer break between
June and Augustus to achieve some personal projects, where apache
contribution will be a large part.
So you can count on me as from end May :)

You can perfectly use static maven generate-pages where the template
contains widgets provided by third parties such as http://disqus.com/,
http://www.sharethis.com/,...
Having such a blog is one of my project during my summer break :)

I will update the https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/planet/committers.ini
to get mine aggregated.
You can submit a patch via jira to get your aggregated (we will commit
in apache repo for you).

Better before than too late :)
No worry about interference. JIRA is queriable, sortable,...

Yes.
There is the mailbox integration test for this.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/mailbox-integration-tester/trunk/
There are also a few tests in each impl modules.
See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1237 where I'm
talking about having spring modules for mailbox independent of server.

I think it's common sense. We are going to work together after all and
it's in our best interest that this project is a success.

I don't have a blog, I have a domain: http://ieugen.ro/ and I was
planning to keep my site with maven (static pages) in a mercurial
repository, but I did not found time to write anything in it. Now I am
not that sure that my idea is feasible, because maven is not designed
for the kind of job I had in mind. I wish to allow comments and other
stuff that you usually see on a blog/personal website.
I like the idea and I think I am going to follow this so please send
me updates. Also, if I write a blog, I will be able to post on the
planet (will it be aggregated)?

Ok, thanks for the advice. This is usually what happens, people who
care take action, but I guess it's my problem for making concerns
about stuff beforehand.

I'm not a native English speaker so please explain what is the
meaning of „harness” in this context?

great :-)
and thanks for tracking and letting everyone know how you're doing
do you blog? if so, try writing up a few words each day on the
project. over time, it'll build into a detailed record. if not, this
might be a good excuse to start. Planet Apache [1] is the best way (if
you don't want to spend your life reading mailing list posts) to track
what's happening with other projects (eg Hadoop, for example [2]).
(Intertwingly [3] is another of my favourites, with lots of Apache
related content.)

Please feel free just to use JIRA. Don't worry about interfering. If
you bother anyone, they'll just move the issues or comment it.
Apache runs by lazy consensus. Noise is encouraged. This allows anyone
who's bothered to jump in before there any problems arise. As
developers learn the way, and gain our trust karma will be granted.
With karma comes responsibility. Before then, don't worry too much :-)
> Also, can I test the mailbox without deploying a real server?
Develop an appropriate harness. (If you raise a JIRA, I'll give it
some thought to the best approach then add some comments. Hopefully
others will dive in too.)

§ hg clone https://hg.codespot.com/a/apache-extras.org/mailbox-hdfs/
mailbox-hdfs
§ cd mailbox-hdfs
§ mvn install
works fine here! :)
pom.xml declarations (artifcatid,...) are good.
The h2 dependency can be removed and mailbox-api + mailbox-store added.
The needed hadoop dependencies must now be added. For these, you will
need to explicitly define the version number (they are not in parent pom).
Tks,
