Hi Justin, The cause of this idea is Jialin and I had some talks in several Universities in China last month, and there were tens of undergraduate students showed the interests in joining the community and the project. We are thinking how to let them really join the community, rather than just saying "ah, I am interested in it. and that's all". But as they are Sophomore or Junior, they have no experiences about how to contribute to the Open Source and how to develop IoTDB (we have to tell them step by step, from how to import IoTDB into their IDE to how to debug and submit PR).
In the beginning, they are not familiar with Apache Way (even includes using mailing list), and at this time, someone who can give him/her a detailed guide will let him/her know how to ask for help on the mailing list and the community.
