Soliciting Ideas for Projects

I think it would be cool to have a repository of interesting project ideas for people who want to do Terracotta-related work (e.g., people looking for graduation projects).

I'd like to start a list of project ideas here: Terracotta Project Ideas. Please add your idea to the list. If you want to work on a particular idea, send mail to tc-dev@lists.terracotta.org. --Orion

Guide to This Wiki

The navigation bar on the left is an attempt to wrangle the information in this wiki into some kind of order. The following is a description of what each section is.

Spaces

These are links to other "spaces" in this instance of Confluence. The space you are looking at right now is the "wiki" space, which contains information by and for the Terracotta community.

Other spaces include:

• Home—This is the main terracotta.org site. It is its own confluence space.
• Integrations—This space contains information about existing Terracotta Integration Modules.
• Documentation—This is the "official" product documentation for the most current release. This space is not generally editable. User-contributed documentation can be put in the community space (i.e., this space).
• Community—That's this wiki space.
• Terracotta Forge—This is the space for the Terracotta Forge Labs project. The Labs project is a set of resources including an svn repository, mailing lists, and wiki space, that serve as a sandbox for the Terracotta community to play with stuff related to Terracotta. Anyone with a Terracotta account can request write permission to the Terracotta Forge Labs svn repository. This is usually the first step to becoming a Terracotta committer.
• Developer Documentation—this is the space for documentation relevant to Terracotta developers, e.g., how the code is structured, how the build system works, etc.

Quick Links

These are convenience links to pages you might find interesting.

Community Resources

These are links to the various resources available to the Terracotta community.

Architecture, Testing, and Tuning

These are hints about how to test and tune your application with Terracotta.

Integrations Discussions

These are pages discussing integrations. These pages are a sandbox for working out and documenting integration issues. Once an integration is complete, it should have a corresponding place in the integrations space. (This is pretty confusing. Perhaps we can organize this a little better. --Orion)

Feature Discussions

These are pages for discussing Terracotta features.

User-Contributed Documentation

Please feel free to add documentation that you think is missing here. (Someone, probably me, should provide a skeleton framework for this. --Orion)

Misc.

Other stuff that we haven't fully classified. (Again, this could be organized better. --Orion)
