Every little blog post, tweet and retweet helps too. :) Takes a lot of people to create buzz. > David Blevins-2 wrote: >> You should join the project :) We're growing but we still need more >> contributors.

Maybe in > a near future :) That's not the hard part. The hard part is time. If you have any time to contribute, there's always something that needs doing that isn't fancy but still really important. Anyone with any time at all to contribute is so incredibly welcome. Skill level is not important. We all just do what we can. On the broken examples front maybe you can help us convert a few to markdown. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/trunk/openejb3/examples http://openejb.apache.org/examples.html So far only the 'simple-stateless' example has a README.md file. We will eventually need a README.md for all the examples. There are 46 examples and we've only ever managed to document 13 of them, so clearly we need to lower the bar and get some sort of really minimal skeleton README.md in there for every example and worry about adding more detail later. We could do a divide and conquer on that. You could create the bare README.md with just the headers and some code snippets, maybe some text if you can think of any, then I can go through and try and add some details. With 46 examples it will still take a while even with two people. Interested? > I couldn't find the link to download eclipse-plugin. Can you guys help me? Looks like we're missing that. Here's the blog post: https://blogs.apache.org/openejb/entry/openejb_eclipse_plugin_alpha_release One more sign that there's more work than people :) -David
