RE: Offering My Help

Documentation would be great!  Many of the commiters (myself included) have just been too busy to put out a proper release.  One of the biggest holdups has been the docs for 1.1.  There are a few bugs listed in Bugzilla that still need to be resolved as well.  Fix what you can and add your patches as attachments to the Bug.  Make sure to commit them in the universal diff –u format.  I do this with my eclipse ide and it’s a breeze.  Once you complete a patch, send a note to the list indicating that you need a committer to review.   If you want to get active, or anyone else for that matter, feel free to dig in to formalize 1.1.  If your active and your work looks competent, you’ll have my vote to gain committer status.   I already know there are 2 patches that need to be added (‘enabling binary resources’, and ‘eliminate requirement that xml-rpc use xerces parser’) post-1.1 release.   Thanks,   Kevin Ross   Open Bugs:  http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&product=Xindice&version=cvs+head+%281.1%29&short_desc=&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&cmdtype=doit&order=%27Importance%27       -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Rabaa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2003 8:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Offering My Help   Hello, I'm interested in participating in the development of Xindice.  I've already read the "Xindice Internals" document.  I thought I could get my feet wet by possibly helping catch up on the documentation.  I see the README has some sections looking to be updated and the UNIX howto is lacking, so my running Redhat 8 at home may be beneficial, unless there are other tasks of higher priority? --    Anthony Rabaa    Software Developer    AMCon Research Inc., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada    http://www.amconresearch.net
