Hi Glenn,
It's great to have another pair of helping hands, welcome!
I think the most important next steps, which will also help you get
further up to speed on Elephant, is to write tests for the new
features in the elephant-unstable branch. This includes the new slot
types (set-valued, cached, associations), hierarchical indexing and
schema evolution. My updates to the list may describe other changes
that I'm not remembering off-hand.
testassociations.lisp in the tests directory has a start on the
associations and I think testindexing has some updates to handle the
new indexing features.
Please feel free to ask questions and/or submit documentation as you go.
Thank you very much,
Ian

Hi all,
I'd like to help out in some way with Elephant, but I'm not quite
sure how to participate. I'm using Elephant in a project while still
climbing the lisp learning curve. That said, I've been doing
software development long enough to be legal-to-drink only counting
the years manning a keyboard :-)
I figure I have 4 to 8 hours a week I can help out, maybe a bit more
when my project (which I'm doing on my own time outside of my day
job) and the needs for Elephant coincide. Since it looks like there
is a push to get a 1.0 release ready I'm happy to help with tasks
such as writing documentation, or running/writing tests. Any
pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn
