| That is one of the very important roles of committers within Apache. We | should be ensuring that we do not duplicate effort between projects and | therefore we should, as you say, have people in both projects. | | You may be interested to know that many of the devs on this list are | also subscribed to the Cocoon lists (and other related Apache projects, | such as Lenya). Some are just watching, some are active. | | > This may seem as asking someone to do two jobs and work | > on two projects, but what I mean is someone (x?) to work | > purely on crossover issues. Maybe somebody is already doing | > this. | | We are all volunteers. We all have our own private reasons for being | here and giving our time voluntarily. You will often see people talk of | itches, they may say something like "it's your itch, go scrathc it" | meaning you cannot expect someone else to do the job, if you think it is | important then just go and do it. Thanks, I think that also answers my reply to JJP I just posted. | | We *do* need more people working on cross pollintation between Cocoon | and Forrest. We also need more people working on fixing the bugs in | Jira, we need more people working on the docs, we need more people | supporting our users, we need more people testing, we need more people - | full stop | | If you can help, please do (I recognise the fact that you are looking | for ways to help, keep it up) | | Ross Keep it up I will, although volunteers can work on any aspect of the project, those that have turned into committers have done so by finding a niche area to concentrate on, this is good for the benefit of the project, in effect, creating their own role. I have yet to find a niche, but in the meantime I'm having a good look around and seeing what I can or may be able to do.(Question barage coming up!)
