Hi, Snehal, this is great!
We definitely encourage anyone who wants to contribute to the project and we 
can use help.

As far as getting started, I don't know how much you are familiar with the way 
Apache communities work, but there are basically two ways you can add value to 
the project. One is as a contributor. You don't need anything to become a 
contributor other than the willingness to help out either by answering 
questions on the mailing lists or submitting patches to issues reported in JIRA.

The other way is as a commiter. In order to become a commiter, you do need a 
vote of approval from the community (the project's pmc in particular) and as a 
consequence you need contributions both on mailing lists and as high-quality 
code in the form of patches, plus a sustained interest in the project.

So as you can see, the first step is in both cases to start an active 
involvement on the mailing lists and pick a few JIRA issues 
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10436) that you are 
interested in and look into them in more detail (if you do decide to do that, 
it would help if you could assign them to yourself so you don't duplicate 
effort with another contributor or commiter).

Welcome to the community,
Radu

Hi All,
I want to work on this project. Can anybody tell me from where should I start? 
I read initial things for XML Beans.
 
Thanks,
