Hi Randall,
DNA looks very interesting and I'd like to participate / contribute to the project.
It is especially interesting because I was working with different sort of metadata for years, and during last year on a very similar project: - web client that accesses to hierarchical enterprise data (e.g. documents) through the JCR as a unified API (based on Jackrabbit implementation), view layer - RichFaces / JSF / Facelets, middle layer based on JBoss Seam /EJB3 / Drools / Spring framework. The project build system was based on Maven.

So what I can say - it's small world ;)

Let me know (if you still looking for contributors) what components that I could help with?

Hi Randall,
I've signed the agreement (confirmation is in pro), read DNA docs, and joined the dev mailing list.

In addition to a middle layer/view layer (especially if buid using SEAM/JSF) I'm interested also in DNA-55 (Rest and Atom) - there are several frameworks/libs available that can make integration easier - including JBoss RESTeasy (JAX-RS, JSR-311 impl, btw, Seam has built-in support), ROME (parsing, generating and publishing RSS and Atom feeds), Apache Abdera (Atom Implementation), etc.

I also can contribute to DNA-37 (Federate schema information from relational sources) - several years ago I've developed JDBC based app that uses Apache Commons Chain (Chain of Responsibility) and extracts DatabaseMetadata and stores it in XML form for further comparison.

Best regards,

Sergiy
