Jamie,
Read [1] for starters and then [2] on the JAXM theme. The crucial thing is to set yourself up with cvs, check out Axis, and get it building successfully (using "ant clean all"). Then any changes you make are safe in the sense that you can check you don't break the build before you submit them (as a patch, i.e. collection of deltas created using "cvs diff -u") to axis-dev. A Committer will eye-ball your changes before committing them to the Axis cvs, so there's an extra level of safety net. You have to be prepared to have your code constructively criticised, but, to be honest, we all make mistakes from time to time, so there's really nothing to worry about in having your mistakes pointed out in public. Talking of which, I've copied axis-dev on this note so that the others see what's going on. If you reply, please do so via axis-dev. Hope you feel you can start to get involved. My advice would be to dive in and see how it goes. The rest of us will help you where we can. The IRC chat is a good place to ask questions interactively. Evidence that you are actively trying to find your way and solve your own problems in usually enough to make others want to give you advice and help.

Currently I would love to join the Axis work. Just don't know how to join. I am really new to this, and really don't know very much, but would love to help where I could. I would appreciate any help on directions where to precede. Thanks Jamie Jamie Powell [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: Click Here
