Retic EAI server : looking for contributors

[Alexander DEJANOVSKI]

For those who don't know Retic, it is an EAI solution that was formerly 
developed in Python, and now moved to Jython. (http://retic.sourceforge.net)
The python releases of Retic came in the early days of the project and were 
pretty buggy. The Jython version has now a nice set of features and is 
gaining, step-by-step, fame over the internet (type "eai server" in google 
and you'll get it on the first pages).

I've had to stop developing the Python version of Retic because of my 
inexperience in what the Python world offers as frameworks or communication 
modules (Twisted, Zope, and for sure many others I don't know).

Two people recently offered me their contribution to restart Python Retic 
development.

I think the Python community should have such software (call it EAI or ETL, 
the difference isn't always clear), which is heavily required in the 
enterprise world.

Anyone willing to participate, at any level of contribution, is welcome and 
should contact me : alexander.dejanovski at laposte.net (please include Retic 
in the subject to get past my spam filter).

The plan is to re-design PyRetic (the python version of Retic), basing it 
on mature Python frameworks (twisted) and to grow both PyRetic and JyRetic, 
thus, providing enterprise-class open source EAI to the Python community 
and the Java community at the same time.


Hoping to ear from some of you real soon.

Alexander


PS : people thinking this is not a good initiative should feel free to tell 
me so (and explain why).
