How about asking students to help as part of the practical parts of their curricular work? And how about asking companies to fund this effort?
A while ago I supervised 10 students writing tutorials for 4 different Open Source projects. Turned out to be a great success. Problem is that students (at least around here) are used to get money for doing those projects even if those projects are part of their curricular work (Mandatory project work is often conducted in companies who provide some form of remuneration since students are embedded in real-life project teams doing real-life jobs) But if a few companies would provide a little bit of funding, the MyFaces team could start a little "documentation award program" or "tutorial competition fund" or something like that: Student groups are encouraged to provide documentation and tutorials (they have to first get to know the components, write sample applications in many different contexts and then document all of it) and the best win a price. Or so. What do you think? Matt Am Fr, 2.06.2006, 17:16, schrieb James Richards: > I could help on explaining tracing MyFaces using AspectJ if that's of any > interest.
