Newcomers being useful

[Nick Faiz]

Hi,             I'm another newcomer. When time permits, I think it would be helpful to give newcomers a clearer insight into what is needed for the project. For example, I'd be happy to write unit tests but how do I know that another developer is not doing the same thing at the same time somewhere else? On the other hand, if someone needs a hand with something like that, please let me know.               I'm looking forward to Alex Rupp's design documents ...               My current goal is to keep an up to date build, learn the design, etc.. Hopefully, when things settle down, it will become clearer for the uninitiated how to participate.   Regards, Nick Faiz.             -----Original Message----- From: Siva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 25 August 2003 4:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Contribute [Was Re: Who are working on the JCA integration part]   IMO,the best way to start contributing is to read the codebase and write unit tests for it.This way you can start understanding the system and help the system evolve towards a TDD.   Siva ----- Original Message ----- From: kamesh kompella To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 12:05 AM Subject: Re: Who are working on the JCA integration part   Hi,    I am interested in contributing. I have added my name and I was perusing through the cvs. Can somebody let me know the current status and where I can jump in?   Thanks. Kamesh
