Hello,
Can we replace this task. We get so many references to it, and
despite the fact we answered the offers for help there was never a
result out of it.
I've pointed at that problem several months ago already.
I am unsure why that is, and maybe we could improve
our people skills, but it is rather obvious to me that this
particular
help request does not attract the right engagement
I guess that the "helpwanted" page makes it too easy to send out
an automatic mail to this list, even thought the OP is not subscribed;
in at least one occurrence, the OP acted as if we were spamming her!
Is there another "helpwanted" request that redirects here?
If not, no surprise that it happens only through the one I created...
(besides the
wording is outdated)
Quite true but the problem existed before the wording got outdated.
We could replace it for a more generic Apache Commons Feedback wanted
task: if you use a Apache Commons components share your experience,
problems and Feedback on the User List. - or similar?
Fine: Please change as you see fit. :-)
Best regards,
Gilles

Hello,
I am looking to contribute to Apache Commons and start of with some
basic
beginner task. I came across this:
https://helpwanted.apache.org/task.html?532e1a732ca32a4e35fc7fc0e4c9373b6af1c17d
If possible, I would like to help out but I am not sure about the
steps
that I need to take here - ask to get jira ticket assigned, I guess?
Also,
I am not sure that I can find the jira ticket in here
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-6> .
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks for your interest.
The wording in the " helpwanted" request is a bit out-of-date,
since the release happened last December.
However, it is still very useful to try out the code in real
applications and report of any problems. You could also design
"toy" applications tailored to illustrate features of the library
(see the "commons-rng-examples" module in the source repository).
You could also have a look at the open issues (although those
might not be beginner tasks).
Don't hesitate to ask more questions, so we can focus more
precisely on what you want to do.
Best regards,
Gilles
