hi Ant - Thanks. I am still a beginner with Tuscany so as I finish this application I am working on I think I will have a better understanding of the framework and can contribute to the dev efforts.
Unless you think I need to help work on the framework to write docs on it and maintain website? Maybe I can work through the tutorials and make sure they all work and write the docs for them - and overall docs? I have not contributed to an open source effort before - so do not want to hamper your efforts either. Will wait to get an understanding from you. Thanks. monosij NB: Also on the note of build environments - Maven is not my forte, however I have begun to use Gradle which seems to be a much better build environment based on Groovy. Just wanted to put it out there in case you have not considered it. http://www.gradle.org/get-excited.html On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 5:42 AM, ant elder <ant.el...@gmail.com> wrote: > There are plenty of things that need doing so i'm sure we can find you > things to help with, what those are really comes down to what you're > interested in.
