Participate In The Project Of PDFBox

[Patrick Wallin <pw...@yahoo.com>]

Hi!

I would like to join in your team by testing or modifying PDFBox.    I have been a programmer for several years and have used Netbeans for few years.  Recently, I use your PDFBox. I am very impressed with it especially creating PDF.

Please let me know if you need help by testing PDFBox or anything.

Any help is very welcome :-)

Depending of your skills and your knowledge about PDF there are several
possible starting points. I suggest that

- you try to get used to the source [1]
- you have a look at our JIRA issue tracker [2] to identify possible task for 
you (maybe you can start with checking if a filed issue is sttll valid or not..)
- sooner or late you have to read the pdf reference [3]
- [4] gives some more general information how to start at the ASF and how to
become a committer

Feel free to come back and ask if necessary.
