Re: primitives

Stephen,

It's interesting to me that the world in general knows about Trove,
but not so much this.

The fact that the front page is labelled with a snapshot version might
have something to do with it, but I am kind of mystified. One thing
that I'd like to add that Trove has is a full generic object hash map
that is an open hash to avoid the space bloat of the stock Java
HashMap.

I am willing to make time to work on this. Since I'm not a committer
at commons, I'm thinking that my proposed lab is a reasonable place to
put in some effort and then bring it back into commons. Or maybe I
should just start teeing up patches at commons? I find that
reorganizing changes that might be called for to do generics and such
are really clumsy  in patches, so svn cp-ing to a lab might still make
sense.

I'm copy the labs list to test if I'm making a particle of sense.

I'm game. Commons, please be so kind as to give me a pail and shovel
in your sandbox, and I'll set to work.

It occurs to me we don't say the above sandbox karma bit on the site,
or atleast not prominently enough. I will add that to the sandbox page
(when I get a chance).

Re: primitives

[Henri Yandell <fl...@gmail.com>]

Or you could start up a sandbox project. We've had good success with
ASF committers creating a sandbox branch of a released component, and
after diving in for a while it's then merged in to trunk where they
then become one of the most active coders of that component.

So +1 to a sandbox branch to primitives if you have ideas you'd like
to play with. ASF committers get karma to the sandbox on request, so
just need you to want to do that and we can add karma.
