After some unexpected turns in my life over the last couple of years, I am digging in to the ActiveMQ 6 code base as I'd like to begin contributing again. But I quickly ran into some barriers for anyone interested in contributing that I'm going to start fixing. Below is a list of things I've run into so far:
* IRC -- I'm a big fan of IRC for collaboration. But but since the Codehaus has shut down, the IRC URL on the ActiveMQ website is now out of date. I did find that there is an ActiveMQ channel over on Freenode, is this where folks are lurking now? * Repo -- As I hunted around for the ActiveMQ 6 repo URL, I had a difficult time locating it from the ActiveMQ website. All I could find was the URL to the ActiveMQ 5 code base (http://activemq.apache.org/source.html). Being that Github pull requests are showing up on dev@activemq list, I was able to locate the Github repo. This information should be fixed up on the ActiveMQ website. Is everyone following the git config in the ActiveMQ README.md file (to configure the ASF git as an upstream remote)? * JIRA -- The source tab is not appearing in any of the JIRA Issues for ActiveMQ 6. This is a problem because commits are not tied to a JIRA issue (and this further delayed me in locating the source repo). It seems that I no longer have JIRA admin privileges to attempt to fix this on my own, how do I interact with ASF Infra to request JIRA admin privileges these days? If folks can help to answer these questions for me, I can begin to help fix these items and move forward.
