Content: --------------------------------------------------------------------- While there's no exact criteria for becoming a committer, there is a fairly obvious path to becoming a committer. For starters, one should be familiar with the [Apache Way |http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html], especially the part about meritocracy. Second, participate in the mailing lists, help answer questions when you can and do so in a respectful manner. This is often more important than writing amazing code. Third, write code, add patches, stick with them and be patient. Add unit tests and documentation. In general, tackling 3 or 4 decent patches is where the bar is at, but it depends on the state of the project. In the earlier stages of the project, the bar is a bit lower, so it pays to join early! --------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFLUENCE INFORMATION This message is automatically generated by Confluence Unsubscribe or edit your notifications preferences http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/users/viewnotifications.action If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/administrators.action If you want more information on Confluence, or have a bug to report see http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence
