Hello, >Do you have a feeling in what particular area you'd like to help out by >contributing ? JDO or XML ? Or both ?
Well, I have used more XML that JDO, but anyway no particular preference So I can get acquainted with code etc. >In general, we'd welcome any contribution of yours, irrespective of its >nature. There's a few areas that come to my mind immediately that could >need some additional attention with us approaching a 1.0 release, e.g. >* HTML docs >* adding new HOW-Tos >* Code refactoring >* Bug fixing >It all depends how 'literate' you are with the current code base, and how Well, not much indeed... I have used it from the 'user' point of view.... But I think codebase / tests / docs will be a good starting point for me to Get familiar with code. I know - & sorry for that - , not sure if it is a good Idea willing to Contribute without being very familiar with codebase, but I need something Challenging to test my abilities, and best thing for me would be join An opensource project & start to contribute or at least see how a real System is designed etc.. >willing you are in terms of 'time and tears' .. ;-). Tears.... of joy? :) >In general, we (the >current committers) will be available to assist you >with any problems you >have (using this mailing list or IRC). As a starting >point, you might want >to familiarize you with e.g. the existing test cases >(src/tests/jdo and >src/tests/xml), etc. Ok, I think I'll start from there & from codebase..... >Here's a few pointers: >* CVS access: http://castor.org/cvs.html >* Existing Jira issues: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CASTOR Thanx... I'll let you know this eve on how far I got in getting Cvs etc Thanx & regards marco Other than that, please join us on the #castor IRC channel on irc.codehaus.org if you have more questions.
