Sounds like good goals for the community bonding period. I've added you as a developer on our self-hosted Allura project https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/ which means you can assign tickets to yourself, make new ones, update existing ones, etc. I'd recommend having many small incremental tickets (perhaps even smaller pieces of work than you outlined in the project proposal), so that its easy to manage them and review them. And of course you don't need to make them all right away :) To familiarize yourself with Allura, you can read more of the documentation - assuming you haven't read it all already ;) https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/ And working on Allura code itself is best. Find an existing ticket or anything you notice that could be made better, and make a fix for it. A really easy one that I could suggest is https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/1699/ I've also noticed that our test suite has failed the past few times: https://builds.apache.org/blue/organizations/jenkins/Allura/activity It probably is related to the "Make debug pages and post permalinks work correctly when behind a proxy" commit. You could take a look at fixing that if you want. Otherwise I will soon. Lastly, reviewing other people's work is a good way to get familiar with the code and best practices. I will have a fix for https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/6353/ coming soon, so watch out for that. You won't be able to merge my branch to master, but it can be a good way for you to learn from others. And any constructive feedback would be welcome too, of course. -- Dave Brondsema : d...@brondsema.net http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming <><
