We, group of students from University of Moratuwa are interested in contributing project Hama as a part of our Intelligent System module. Going through the project issues we found https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-891 would be a good fit. We would like to discuss possibility of working on this issue (or any other issue that would fit). Any advice on getting started is welcome as non of us are much familiar with the project.Further, we like to know whether the irc channel #hama on freenode is still active.
Thank you Bhathiya
