I think that ALL contributors and committer can help in this effort and
increase knowledge transfer by ...
- Keeping technical discussions on the list.
- Trying out, reviewing and asking questions about patches
especially in components which they are not experts.
- Paying quick attention to patches and technical questions.
- Avoiding all thoughts of component ownership.
For the newcomers, focusing on quality items as outlined in DERBY-257
can add great value and learning potential with very low (often no)
risk. Contributions of this type I think deserve our highest level of
attention. I think it is everyone's itch to bring more high quality
contributions and contributors to the project.
