Contributing to .NET Client?

[Tomas Restrepo <to...@devdeo.com>]

Hi everyone,

I've been following the Qpid progress for some time now and I'm very
interested in AMQP and the qpid implementation, and would like to contribute
to it. In particular, I'd be interested in contributing to the .NET client
implementation. 

Some things I'd like to ask:

- Is this something you guys would be interested in?
- What would be the best place to discuss contributions/comments regarding
the .NET client? I see this list seems to be mostly focused for now on the
java and cpp stuff, but I don't know if this is because not many people are
actively working on the other implementations or if it's because the
discussion is being done through other means

Disclaimer: if my questions seem dumb, it's because I've contributed to
other open source projects but not one associated with the asf :)

So, is there any interest? I've already been going through the code and
getting familiar with it, btw.

Thanks, I'll be doing so for the first few items, and then I'll submit a few
patches for review on the other stuff.

Hi Thomas,

It is good to get some eyes on this code. No one else how looked at it
much afaik.

I reckon raising jiras for the bugs and submitting patches would be
the best place to start.

Robert Greig also knows the code pretty well and of course much of the
code is a simple port of the Java code.

Cheers,
Steve.

If you would like to start by posting patches for the bugs you have 
found and tests, then once those are
 we can direct you to bigger items if you feel so inclined. All the 
items you list are great.

Regards
Carl.

I'm not sure I know well enough the codebase to do 1 or 2 right away, but
I'd be more than happy to dive into it. I also noticed there's still a lot
of cleanup of the current code base to be done including:
- Several latent bugs I've already noticed because of small errors in the
code
- Several classes only half-way ported from the original java sources that
need cleaning up
- A few things that could be changes to adapt better to some .net specific
idioms here and there
- a lot of unit tests needed, as coverage right now could really be
improved.

I'd be happy to help with any of the above as well while getting more
familiar with the code base, if it sounds like something people are
interested in.

Tomas,

Welcome and glad to have your contributions. Steve Shaw knows the C# 
client best so I am sure he will
also reply. If he doesn't we can jump in.

Things off the top of the list are:
- Convert to the new con generator
- Update the client to use the 0-9 specification and the message class
- I also don't think an of the authentication work has been done yet, 
but I stand to be corrected on that

What interests you?
Carl.
