Currently http://freemarker.org/contribute.html is were tasks for contributors are listed. But those are FM2 issues. Current FM3 issues are mostly too involved for casual contributors, as it's mostly FM2 cleanup and refactoring... hence no issues. But the goal is to get to a point where more "accessible" issues can be produced. (A more accessible code base is one of the main goals of FM3 after all.) Speaking of which, soon there will be one. Anyone is interested in FM3 Spring integration? The goal is that FM3's builder-based configuration can be used seamlessly for creating the Spring beans. So certainly a freemarker-spring module need to be added, which extends some classes to implement FactoryBean interface and such. Also some configuration defaults, like the TemplateLoader need to be different for sure, and we need a TemplateLoader that uses Spring's Resource API. (I will create an issue for it after I have polished the configuration API a bit more.) > Best regards, > > Michael Brohl > ecomify GmbH > www.ecomify.de > > > Am 17.05.17 um 14:29 schrieb Daniel Dekany: >> Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 2:26:29 AM, Taher Alkhateeb wrote: >> >>> Yeah I closed it because it was a proposal for a PoC which you pretty much >>> got done while I slacked :) Should I re-open?
