Hi,
Starting from January 2009, we have started a reengineering effort in
MySQL server group. It is a long term effort aimed at improving the
modularity of the code base, reduce the number of bugs introduced with
new features, and provide a pluggable architecture that makes it easier
for third parties as well as MySQL to implement plugins. The project
just found its home on Forge:
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Refactoring_MySQL. Information regarding
roadmap, architecture improvements and more will be added as we move
forward.
We want to make the project as transparent as possible, and would like
invite the community to participate! Starting from the coming days and
weeks, technical discussions regarding reengineering will take place on
this mailing list. We anticipate your valuable input!
Regards,
Manyi Lu
