Hi

The "How To Help" page at
  http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/How+to+help
is a great thing. It shows a selection of issues that people can help
out with.

Of the 25 "Novice Issues" there are patches for 15 of them. Many of them
are documentation related. It would be great if one of the developers
could find some time to apply or reject these patches.

Thanks Dennis. I'm going to spend some time going through patches today
while my head cold prevents me doing "real work" :)

If you provide a list of the ones you saw, that'd be helpful in prodding
people to apply them.

Sure, here you have it:

  Not a complete solution, but it eases the pain...

- http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1373

  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1686
  instead, because it fixes more stuff

- http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1395
  Updates to docs and shell scripts

  Add webapp to standard directory layout
  Has been discussed on the user list

We, "the novice helpers", would also like some more issues to work on
:-) So if someone could add some more select issues to that same list
would be nice.


I'm not so sure you're a novice :)

:)

Most of them probably exist in plugins now, which aren't linked from
that page. We should look into how we can adapt the JIRA query to
include them all.

Maybe that's an area you could help with?

I could try, but I'm not fluent in JIRA yet, so I might need some help getting started. Actually I did a test installation of JIRA yesterday, so I do have an instance to play with. Is Jason the one to talk to when it comes to communicating with JIRA?
