Hello Everyone.
First of all, I would like congratulate everyone involved in the development and maintenance of Ofbiz project for the wonderful Job done so far. Although, I have not contributed to the project yet, I have always been a great fan of Obiz. I have been learning about Ofbiz since my final year project at University about a year and half a go as I have chosen it for my project which was about ERP solutions. I have gone through the entire tutorial I could find and also bought and studied the advanced framework tutorials by David. Now I am ready to participate in the development of Ofbiz project. I have read the Ofbiz Contributors Best Practice and yet I feel I might mess up things. Just a fear of starting. I know Ofbiz contributors have their own tight schedules and problems but I think to bring new contributors on board, it would be a good Idea if every new contributor could be assigned a committer or an experienced contributor as a mentor until the new contributor is confident enough to work on his/her own. The advantage is the assigned committer or the experienced contributor can follow closely the growing experience and capabilities of the new contributor, assign them Jira issues they know the new contributor can fix. A lot of people including me feel comfortable in working under guidance particularly when trying new things especially if they are new graduates or have not commercial experience. Please let me know if you have a quick way I can get started. Under WorkLog in my Jira account, it says You don't have permission to work on this issue for every Jira Issue I open no matter what status it is in. Does that mean I can't do anything to any Issue, also can I assign an Issue to myself?
