Sounds great! The best way to get started is to start looking at open issues in JIRA and tackling any that scratch your fancy. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Asummary-panel For some suggestions, you might cheat by first taking a look at the issues that have been labeled as good candidates for Google Summer of Code. Any of those might be a good way to get started. https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+12310110+AND+labels+%3D+gsoc2011 The best advice is to just start communicating on the list, following JIRA issues you are interested in, and contributing patches/discussion where it makes sense. You will quickly get a sense of which issues might make sense to work on. It's also a good idea to follow and participate in the user lists. Good luck and welcome to the Lucene community! > Regards > Elmar > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > - Mark Miller lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
