All,
I am working on a "How to Become a Nutch Developer" document for the
wiki and I need some input.
I need an overview of how the process for JIRA works? If I am a
developer new to Nutch and just starting to look at the JIRA and I want
to start working on some piece of functionality or to help with bug
fixes where would I look.
Would I just choose something that is unscheduled and begin working on it?
What if I see something that I want to work on but it is scheduled to
somebody else?
Are items only scheduled to committers or can they be scheduled to
developers as well? If they can be scheduled to regular developers how
does someone get their name on the list to be scheduled items?
Should I submit a JIRA and/or notify the list before I start working on
something? What is the common process for this?
When I submit a JIRA is there anything else I need to do either in the
JIRA system or with the mailing lists, committers, etc?
Getting this information together in one place will go a long way toward
helping others to start contributing more and more. Thanks for all your
input.
