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
