Comitter

[Yonas Jongkind <yo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am interested in becoming a comitter for PDFBox. I have a sense that I
have been using the forms stuff a lot more than most, and I have a few
things to contribute.

I have been creating tickets, but not all tickets have been fixed yet.

I maintain out own version here with quite a few changes, and it would be
great if I could merge them back in when I get the time. I would then also
take on some other fixes, including to the tests.

Y.

Life is good!

That's correct. We are interested in any contribution (patches, bugreports, 
testing etc.). There is a lot to do and as we are all volunteers, we will need 
more committers ....

Committer status is recognition for persistent contribution, not the
pre-requisite.

That sounds great.  Post tickets, attach patches.  The PDFBox community
seems really open to good input so they should be very interested in what
you have to say.

Post patches where you have them, even if they aren't final solutions.  The
key is to involve people in working together on problems.
