+1 you'll find some information on the website: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/patches.html http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/volunteering.html we're always glad to have more help but it's important to realise that apache projects aren't as centrally directed as many others: it's more like a hive mind than a dictatorship. though from time to time folks will throw out requests for volunteers, it's more common for developers to be working to scratch their own itches. most committers are volunteers coding in their own time and are involved in many different projects. so sometimes a combination of perseverance and patience is required to make firm contact. please don't feel discouraged if it takes a little while. there are many ways to give something back. submitting patches is just one. getting involved with the lists is another: answering user questions can be very rewarding and is a great way to learn (i know that i still do). but IMHO the most valuable contribution is documentation. documentation patches are rare but highly prized. the most fun approach is to do whatever of these you fancy as the mood takes you. - robert > . > > "Jakarta Commons Developers List" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > --=_alternative 004F796185257005_= > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > > > > Hi there, > > > > I just submitted a critical bug (#34959) for commons-modeler.
