Good point.

I think Arlin should be able to start pretty soon. He has a couple
of other things on his plate that he is finishing up, but should
be free'd up in a week or 2. In the mean time, he can start to take
a look at what needs to be done, etc. 

I would think that initially, the first changes are to develop a
provider that calls
the new gen2 verbs APIs rather than the gen1 APIs. This should be 
a pretty straight forward port of what currently exists in your
sourceforge project. 
There is also support for shared memory that is needed for Oracle, and I
am
not sure if that exists in any of the open source versions of DAPL.

Arlin, feel free to chime in if there is anything that I missed that
would
need to be done to make uDAPL run on openib.org.
