Thanks Ian. I'll take a look at the tests and start there. I expect
to devote a good part of Sunday on this (my wife is out of town, so
now is a good time for me to start getting involved). I'll send out
an update and questions. Thanks for the opportunity, I'm looking
forward to getting to know and contribute to Elephant.
Thanks,
Glenn

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
