Each project deals with TODO items in their own way, with varying degrees of formality -- for example, in Tomcat 4 there is some ongoing discussion about creating the "Cluster" capabilities for setting up load balanced environment (some existing experimental code exists in the HEAD branch of the "jakarta-tomcat-4.0" CVS repository), and for Tomcat generally the web connectors are always in need of testing and debugging. Another very useful way to get involved is to look at the outstanding bug reports and submit patches - the bug tracking system is at: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/ Welcome! > Cheers, > > -- > Manik Surtani Craig -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
