Hi Alex, The nutch committers have perms right now on JIRA to close issues. If you think you have found some that are ready to be closed, let me know and I'll gladly close them if it makes sense. In terms of providing patches for ones that are open, I would suggest looking for small, incremental improvements where you can provide patches that are quickly reviewable and easy to apply by a committer. I usually classify easy to apply as:
1. patch applies without any warnings/errors 2. unit tests are provided to expose issues, or expose new functionality for regression 3. javadoc on all public methods We welcome your contributions. Thanks very much! Cheers, Chris On 6/25/10 5:40 AM, "Alex McLintock" <[email protected]> wrote: In case you hadn't noticed, I'm going through the Jira tasks looking for something interesting to fix. If there are anything you would like a "newbie" to help with then just give me a shout. A few tasks look like they could be closed already. Who decides when they get closed? The original submitter or any committer? I've looked at the code before but am still feeling my way around the plugin system trying to get it to do what I want. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Senior Computer Scientist NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 171-266B, Mailstop: 171-246 Email: [email protected] WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
