Hi Alex and Kalle,
Thanks for the encouraging words. We've used Shiro in an in-house
project and I was quite impressed by it. I am currently going through the
documentation and will note down areas which need improvements for a newbie.
I could see there are several tickets opened for documentation and will work
on them once I am ready.
Do I need to have any special skills (E.g. JDO, ORM, etc) to
contribute to the core packages?
Thanks!
