Hi Randy, I am glad to hear about your interest in ApacheDS and your wish to contribute. Let me answer some of your questions inline ...

If you have a fix for a bug or a feature mark the issue respectively. Then just attach your patch to that issue. Although some emails get sent automatically to inform us of JIRA activity it might also be a good idea to post an email to this list with a link to your JIRA issue. Perhaps this might generate some good discussions around your concerns as well. I did not see the last step anywhere -- or I missed it reading over the > general Apache stuff.

However I think JIRA is a great interface for holding your contributions. HTH, Alex
