Re: [dtp-dev] Starting a project for complete support for SQL Server

Hi François!

We would love to have you join the party!
MS SQL Server support (2000/2005/2008) is definitely an area where we could
use some help in DTP.

That sounds great as far as creating
bugs to raise some visibility. If you have something mostly working by
the end of August/September, we should start working on getting the code
into the Eclipse CVS to get the IP process going early. That would help
out the Eclipse folks and us, as we could then work on getting any updated
plug-ins worked into the build process, and so on.

So, long story short... Welcome to the
party! Let us know what you need and we'll do our best to respond! A lot
of folks will be taking vacations in July, so we may not be as responsive
as usual, but we'll get back to you as soon as we can I'm sure.

Thanks!

Subject	[dtp-dev] Starting a project for complete support for SQL Server

Hello,

I am  interested in giving a hand to add/improve support for more
 
databases in DTP (i.e. enablement) together with a few other guys.
We are starting a project with initial focus on Microsoft SQL Server  
(including SQL Server 2008).

For now we are hosting the project on SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/dtp-mssql/
  , but we would like to contribute the code back to Eclipse.org for
 
inclusion in the DTP releases, if there's interest for that.

If that's OK, we'll be starting by entering bugs in Bugzilla @ Eclipse
 
corresponding to SQL Server functionalities that we are working on, so
 
that you guys have some visbility on the area we are tackling.

We will propose patches for them as they get refined, and the fact  
that everything happens in a public repo should make it easy for you  
to review our eventual contributions.
Actually, since most our contributions may be patches of complete  
modules/plugins, we will see if some of us can become committer, if  
that makes sense for the DTP community.
But first, we'll try to show some code...
And we we will most likely have tons of questions along the way!

(BTW, some of us are already committers at Eclipse on other projects)
