Reporting a bug is actually relatively easy, just go here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS
The main issue is getting the ticket resolved, and that might become in
fact hard if you
cannot solve it yourself.
There are basically two avenues. I'd say 90% of the work is done on paid
contracts,
and core developers are working full time on those (it's up to 9 hours a
day for me).
And then there is the spare time, which is maybe 4 hours during the weekend
(again, for me),
where "everything else" gets addressed, by priority and/or sometimes just
because one
likes to do a certain thing and not another one
First order of priority is reviewing pull requests, in order to keep
contributions coming from
non core devs flowing... that alone uses a lot of those 4 hours.
And then there is everything else, that is, all the open tickets in jira...
and one ends up
working on those that can fit the remaining time (e..g, easy ones, possibly
affecting a lot
of people).
And sometimes you really just want to work on something, like when I
decided to put
back some life in the css support. I started July 2014, using half of my
seaside vacations,
and continued working on it on and off until Christmas, where it used
another half of
my winter vacations, and then madly over then next few weekends, in order
to complete it
by the feature freeze (Jan 18 2015).
So.. imagine how hard it must be to hear users complaints when you
basically are throwing
all the time you have on the project, and yet it's never enough.....
but it's a given that one cannot make everybody happy, and I've learned to
live with it ;-)
Cheers
Andrea
