Hey Lavinia, welcome and thanks for your interest in the OpenNMS project. So what is the priority of the projects for OpenNMS, good question.
We are really looking forward to get an improved REST API up and running. The Application Stack View, is UI heavy and requires a feeling for UIs. During the development of this project more experiments and prototypes will be required. The refactoring of the Web UI is a lot of small fixes and cleanup very old JSP stuff. It includes everything from introducing more spring mvc controller to cleanup the css. Hibernate, that is a tricky one. The parts of OpenNMS that haven't been moved to Hibernate are the most difficult parts. So for that project you'll require a high frustration tolerance. The priority? Pick the project you really want to do, and fits you well. How to start? Check the wiki for the page about git. Get the code of OpenNMS 1.12 compiling on your system. You'll find an article about how to install OpenNMS from source in the wiki too. After that install and configure snmp on your system and add it self to your fresh compiled OpenNMS. That should give you an idea about the project. Load for example the OpenNMS WebApp in netbeans or eclipse and have a look around. Most importantly, don't panic.

I have a couple of years experience with Java, both SE and EE (including REST API:JAX-RS and Hibernate), so there shouldn't be any programming barriers. I've looked over your proposed projects and there is more than one project that catches my attention: the new REST API for OpenNMS, the Application Stack View, the refactoring of Web UI and converting OpenNMS to use Hibernate. These all correspond to my area of interest. But I have a question: is there any project with a higher priority in the development of OpenNMS? And secondly: how can I start getting involved? I'm looking forward to hearing from you and being a valuable part of the community, Lavinia Bobonete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
