Hi Gaurav! Welcome aboard! Before I list some suggestions understand none of them are orders and the most important thing is to find something you like doing. That usually takes a bit of trial and error, so don't feel obligated to get married to the first task you pick. Feel free to date a few tasks for a while :)
We don't expect any certain amount of contribution or level of knowledge -- whatever and whenever is fine and welcome. Have as much fun as possible, because, really, we just love having new people around :) If you're able to contribute much, that's just a bonus. To add to what Romain suggests, the examples are definitely a fantastic place to contribute and usually lead to other work. It sounds boring, but is definitely one of those things that has a large impact on the community. To put it in perspective, the youtube video of the TomEE interview with O'Reilly looks impressive but actually has only gotten 2000 hits since October. This one little example which isn't even documented gets that every month: - http://openejb.apache.org/examples-trunk/injection-of-entitymanager/README.html Any help on the examples would be outstanding. That could be documenting them, reworking them so they feel cleaner or are simpler or anything you might enjoy. Sky is the limit. And if you don't know what to write on some of those undocumented examples. Feel free to hop on IRC and ask as many questions you want as often as you want on how things work. It sounds like just as much work as just documenting something in the first place, but believe me it's way easier to tell one person how something works than it is to document it in a way that's understandable by anyone. The second one is far harder and greatly appreciated even if you have to bug people constantly to get the info you need. We are at your disposal! :) And of course, we're happy to help with any other topic you might find interesting. Feel free to list some things you like doing and odds are we need some of it. Welcome again, Gauray! -David On Apr 10, 2012, at 2:06 PM, Gaurav Sharma wrote: > Thanks Karan and Romain.. very excited to be getting involved with the > project.
