The closest thing we have currently are the HowToContribute pages: http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/HowToContribute http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-hadoop/HowToContribute http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToContribute These are not great, but they're a start. Are there parts that are confusing? Do they assume too much? Are they missing things? If so, please help to update these. I note that the Nutch version is less evolved than the Lucene and Hadoop versions. Doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
