[elephant-devel] How to get involved?

[Ian Eslick]

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
