Goals

• Get a grip on 3.0 core and plugin development
• Port the core plugins to 3.0

Tasks to Tackle

People should add their plugins/core plugins that they are most interested in porting. We also need to define teams (pairs or tuples) of people to work together (Extreme style) on these projects. Ideally, each team will have a maven/spring/osgi/3.0 guru.

• EnhancedSearch, QuickFind (Maital).

• Metanodes port (Scooter). Maital - expressing interest in Metanodes.
• 3.0 Plugin Manager (Sarah?)
• Editor (Allan)
