TBH I'd recommend selecting the project based on what would be
interesting and fun to you, not on whether the project is finished.
If you want to ensure you don't end up with a project that is stalled,
you may want to look at the last time it has seen any code change. See
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/sandbox/
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf (the projects with names
starting with "commons-")

You can also look at incubating projects like Commons-RDF.

My problem that i am currently trying to figure out is to find a project or
component that is not in a final or stabile state, so it will be
interesting to join it in this point.
There are a lot of already stabile projects, components where good and
interesting things are already done.
Of course being good, interesting, final, stabile are all relative things,
but i hope you understand my point.
But yes going with commit history is one possible solution.
Thanks !

Hello Arsen,
you can get an idea about what projects are currently been worked on by
looking into the SVN/git commit history. We have some projects which are
maintained more frequently like Commons Lang, Commons Net, Commons VFS and
the like.
You should just dig into the projekt you're interested the most and start
to work on that one bei discussing changes here on the development list or
contributing improvements/fixes via jira or github.
HTH,
Benedikt

Thanks a lot for help. I have started some research on projects.
Choosing right project to begin with is important i think !
Re: need some help

The currently active projects is a good question (and as I'm not that
active myself, let's see which are active).
When we were all using Subversion it was easier, but now some components
are on Git and some Subversion.
Looks like four are on Git (Math, Lang, Compress and SCXML). I would
assume, based on recentness of the migrations, that all four are active.
For the rest, you can see their most recent activity by sorting by Age on
this SVN directory (the top 20 would imply _possibly_ active to me):
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/?sortby=date#dirlist
And for the Sandbox:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/sandbox/?sortby=date#dirlist
There only the one (inject) looks like it might be active.
Unless you use one of the projects, the next issue you hit is what to work
on.
Each has a JIRA project. You can find the list of them here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa#10260
Click on a project, click issues, click View Issues and browse the open
issues. There will be many that are open ended, and some will be that way
because there's no real good solution, so early on the recommendation is to
look for issues that are concretely described.
For example - Sebb and I worked on this one:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1143 - I think it's a case of
finishing the work (we're both stretched all over the place) and might be a
good one to work on. IMO Lang does tend to have the more easily
approachable first items (but I'm biased :) ).
Contribution process can be via GitHub (
https://github.com/apache/commons-lang) or via attachments to a JIRA issue
(generated using svn diff or git diff).
https://commons.apache.org/patches.html has more about patches, common
sense stuff, but the type of thing you might not think about while heads
down on a first contribution.
Lastly - ask questions. One of the hardest habits to lose when getting into
Open Source (imo; and I'm making an assumption that those interested in
participating are often fairly new to open source teams) is that feeling
that a question will lead to shame. A question, especially one that
mentions the web page you looked at and didn't find an answer on, often
identifies a need for better documentation. Having asked the question, make
your next step a contribution to make it so the next person doesn't need to
ask.
To that end - https://commons.apache.org/site-publish.html appears to be
the documentation for getting the site. Use this JIRA for patches/issues in
the site: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE
Hope some of that helps :)
