One thing to note, If you aren't able to assign jira issues to yourself, make sure to add a comment to the issue saying your working on it. Also, it can be helpful to give an estimate of when you think you might complete a patch for the issue. Best of luck, -Jacobd

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).
