All, I started a wiki page for how to contribute to Rya at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RYA/Contributing+to+Rya

Josh, you are right, it would be nice for users to note when their code is
ready to be reviewed. Is there a way to add new statuses to the JIRA
tickets, so we have something like "review requested", "under review"? Or
do you suggest another way to achieve that?

Regarding review: I think that committers should go through some review
too. Maybe if a pull request is made by a committer, then another committer
needs to review it, and then either committer can merge it? If a pull
request is made by a non-committer, maybe two committers need to review it.
We could have a minimum review period of 48 hours so everyone has a chance
to comment. What do you all think?

Aaron, I think that the components you added are useful. Thanks for adding
them and for the JIRA tickets that you plan on taking on. I added a
"website" component and of course we need more. We can have a JIRA ticket
contribute to more than one component.

Thanks,
Adina
