Hello all
My name is Eric Medlock. I'm interested in seeing how
I could help out on the Avalon Phoneix project. I have
experience in Java, JSP, Perl, C/C++, Linux, Unix,
etc. I know I've got a lot of
work to do in order to get up to speed and begin
contributing but it would be very helpful to know a
few things, such as:
A) How intense is current development?
B) What do you recommend that I study "first" or
rather what are the most important technical
skills/etc. that I should know in order to be able to
help.
C) Anything else you think I need to know.
Thanks and I'm looking forward to joining in as soon
as I can.
Eric Medlock

depends on when you ask. SOmetimes changes are very rapid while at other
times it is slower. Some parts are "hot" while others are relatively stable
and haven't changed much in a year (or two in some cases).

read Berins developers guide at first then possibly go through the phoenix
web pages. After that just start playing with things and ask questions ;)
Find a part you want to do or want to help with and just dig in.

Thanks for the info, that is exactly what I was
looking for. And, I would be interested in assisting
with your DB project. Give me some more info on it or
tell me what docs to read...

Eric,
AvalonDB needs some help. There is just two of us and we have an
ambitious plan.
With all Apache projects it is not so easy to just dive in. The
generally accepted way is to 1) watch, 2) learn, 3) submit patches until
4) people get sick of applying them and propose you as committer.

I'm definitly a newbie. But here I learned to develop and not to hack. Just
jump in and don't get frustrated. The claim is high, but that's good so!
But I recommend following docs to read:
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/developing/index.html to get in touch
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/guidelines.html
Stay tuned
Gerhard
PS: If you want to do some _extrem_ codeing then take a look at AavalonDB in
Cornerstore project.

On what scale? Probably best just to watch the CVS logs (on the
jakarta-avalon-cvs list) and judge for yourself. Watching commit logs is also a
good way to find out what areas are "active". If you're not subscribed, there's
a link at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html

Have you read the "Developing with Avalon" paper?
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/developing/index.html
(please make a point of reading it in PDF, as Berin went to much effort to
generate that;)
> C) Anything else you think I need to know.
Ideally, start learning with Avalon in conjunction with something that uses it.
Perhaps something in Cornerstone's apps directory. The docs are severely
lacking in examples, so at first it's hard to see "what it's good for". Also,
if you have any questions, ask :) You're in good company.. half of us are
newbies pretending otherwise ;) The other half are deeply knowledgable, which
makes participating in this project very educational.
