Hi Caio, you're almost about two weeks too early to start
contributing--MVN3_BRANCH will hopefully be gone in a few weeks at the
latest, as it will be merged into the trunk. We're still technically on
Ant at least for the next couple of weeks while ferociously Mavenizing.
If you'd like to help out the next few weeks, the best way would be to
look at the JIRA issue tracker and look at bugs that can be fixed, and
supply patches to trunk--this would be micro-level coding independent of
whether we're on Ant or Maven. Further, for most JIRA bugs, you can
"mvn clean install [-Dmaven.test.skip]" right now on trunk to get a WAR
without even needing to use Ant.
Happy to see you volunteering help--in my view, JSPWiki is one of the
better projects to volunteer time on as it's all standard Java stuff
highly applicable for many real-life work projects. Apache can never
formally guarantee committership, but with enough quality patches and
sustained contributions it would be highly likely you'd get voted in as
a committer and have direct write access.
Regards,
Glen

Hi everyone!
My name is Caio Carrara, I'm brazilian software developer and I work with
Java there some time... I recently finished my college and nowadays I'm
"just working". That let me with some free-time that now I want to use to
contribute with some open source project.
I've checked out the trunk, but I thought that was little confusing the
situation of Ant and Maven, like I could see by last emails sent to the
list. So, since I know and usually use Maven, is MVN3_BRANCH a better
choice to a first build?
Well, at the moment I want just say a first hello and start use JSPWiki...
Advices?
Best regards,
ps.: I'm sorry about my poor english, I'm training.
