How many years have you been here? depends on what you mean by 'being here'. i've been a commons developer since the start (of commons) but i've only been a (commons) committer for six months or so. i've been a jakarta committer (for another project) for (i think) eighteen months or so but was lurking around answering (occasional) user questions on various lists since before java.apache.org became jakarta.apache.org. of course, there are a lot of people who've been at jakarta much longer than me. that's why you should read those jakarta pages. those pages have been developed over time to give good answers to these kinds of questions. - robert >> From: robert burrell donkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Reply-To: "Jakarta Commons Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: "Jakarta Commons Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: Re: Hello, I'm a newer >> Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2002 17:44:42 +0100 >> >> On Friday, July 5, 2002, at 01:20 AM, Âæ?Áé?wrote: >> >>> hi guys, I am a student majoring in computer science, I am interested >>> in this project, hoping to get invoived in it, and contributing my >>> skills. >> >> the best place to start is by reading the information already on the >> site. >> see >> >> http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html >> >> and pages linked to it. it explains how we manage our projects and some >> of the apache philosophy. >> >> IMHO we're a little less directed than some other places. it's more >> about people scratching their personal itches than some great uber-plan >> for world domination. >> >> i personally think that documentation patches (both user documentation >> and java docs)are a great way to understand a project. once you've found >> a project you find interesting - try to improve the documentation. not >> only will you learn about how the project works but you'll also earn the >> thanks of the developers. >> >> the other great way to learn a project is to hang out on the users list >> and try to provides answers to user questions. you'll be amazed how much >> you can learn yourself by answering questions - especially if you need >> to find out the answer! >> >> once you understand a project then take a look at the to do list and see >> if there's anything that interests you. if there is, post to the list >> volunteering to provide patches. if there's nothing that you find >> interesting on the to do list - then propose something new that you do >> find interesting! or go and find another project doing more interesting >> stuff! >> >> BTW you'll need to subscribe the commons-dev list if you want to >> contribute code. it's a good idea to subscribe for a little while so >> that you get a feel for the netiquette before you post. >> >> - robert >> >> >> -- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:commons-user- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:commons-user- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> > > > > > °™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™°™ >Good Luck!!!
