I want help from someone who can tell me : james does this to this
registry entry and does this to the environment variable etc. I can
handle the installer for windows.

I would like to get to work on the web interface right away. I have
done tons of web gui programming. But I would like to know things like
DB schema and class diagrams and SOME documentation like maybe API. I
have never interfaced with a telnet console but I have written perl
scripts.

I would prefer it if there is some James contributor in the Washington
DC/MD/VA area. I live near fairfax , va and work near McClean, VA.

It is just easier. I have never contributed to open source projects so
I will need orientation with that please. Where to go?
I wish we could put time in setting up infrastructure to permit
programmers to contribute. You cannot have it grow as exponentially as
it ought to.

Ok I have written java/hibernate code to interact with the db but
telnet console?
Where is this db for james?

I would like to start with documentation and arch. diagrams etc. That
is critical to newcomers and fresh ideas and even updates, I feel.

If you dont know the roadmap how will you get to where you want to go?
We need some guy with project management background ; I can help with
that if no one volunteers.

Cool. We need to work with something stable, dont we? I dont know much
about this but you have to help me out here : if the changes dont make
it how are we going to document or make contribs?
I have worked in 50+ developer environments with 6000+ classes using
primarily WSAD (websphere app developer/ IRAD IBM Rational app
developer; souped up eclipse editor);I have worked with JDK 1.4
primarily; J2EE tech like JSPs/JMS etc. (in the java realm) and
interfaced with oracle/db2/Mysql. That is just my java background.
I would say I want to understand the application first. Tell me if I am wrong.

For that I will be creating the architectural documentations. I have
visio but if anyone has bit torrent - ed some architecture software do
help out please! anything that will automatically scan the DB and
create a schema would be useful also.
