Hello Shawn!
I quite agree with you, especially in the 'dead project' assessment.
After some nice success in internal web apps, we deployed to a real
server Monday (alexa ranking of 50,000). Velocity crashed in 20 minutes. The
Logging doesn't close the file, and it causes tomcat to crash. Took us 18
hours to fix. This is unbelievable. Not lest of all, because as you lose the
file handle resources you get tons of bugs because you can't find/load
classes
:-) this bug has been in the tracker for months.
I have also asked a few times to have someone help me to add my fixes to
velocity back into the source tree. With no luck.
Now, we have all written code, so we all know that you don't want someone
who's not familiar with the code to start adding stuff. It's a bit of asking
for trouble. When are we going too far, what is already there, but we didn't
realize it. Standards? What tests do we need to add / run? Etc. So once
again I propose the following.
Someone who's already a contributing member, in good standing, take a few
hours, pair with me & shawn (either @ the same time, or pair with one, have
us pair, pair with other)
you will gain 2 new programmers to help breathe some life back into this
project.
so anyone out there?

Subject: wanting to join the team
I have just recently started using velocity 1.4 as a great way to make
templates for dynamic pages in a webapp I am writing at work. I have been
impressed. There are a few things I would like to see, most of which seem
to have been discussed heavily over the past couple of years.
I would like to join the team and see if I can help out. I got the
impression that the project was dead, but it seems that it has sprung back
to life over the past few months.
My background....I have been developing for ~10 years in Objective-c, c,
and exclusively java for the past 5 years. Mostly j2ee web applications.
Currently, I am a Sr web developer at Pennwell publishing in Tulsa,
Oklahoma.
Let me know where I can pitch in, docs to read to get me up to speed on
contributing fixes, new code, testing, etc. I am digging around the
website.
Regards,
Shawn McDermott
