Unable to find bug tracker list
Hello,
I am interested in contributing to ASF. Though I have been thinking about it for a while I got the time only now. I have been going through the site looking for bugs list as stated in the ASF 'Where do I start' page ie 101.html but I couldnt find it please help. Following is the section in the page that points to bugs list.
"If you are trying to satisfy a specific technical problem then you already know what you want to work on, but if you are looking for something useful to do in order to participate in an ASF project then the projects issue/bug tracker is your friend (this will be linked from the projects home page or from its entry on the projects page linked above).
In the projects issue tracker you will find details of bugs and feature requests the project would like to work with, this should give you some inspiration about how you might be able to help the project community. If you are looking for a beginner level issue try searching JIRA for issues with the label "GSoC" or "mentor", these are issues the community feel are manageable for someone new to the ASF and their project. The community has also indicated that they are willing to help someone work on those issues through our mentoring program<https://community.apache.org/newbiefaq.html#NewbieFAQ-AbouttheApacheMentoringProgramme>.
"
Regards,
Prakash

Posted by Yash Sharma <ya...@gmail.com>.
Well you should first select a project and drop a mail on the project's
mailing list.
This should be the first step - To find a project that you would LOVE to
work on. You can always work on multiple projects as well.
The contributors of the project would be the best people to help you out
with further steps.
Hope it helps. Feel free to ask more questions otherwise :)

Re: Unable to find bug tracker list
Posted by B Prakash <bp...@hotmail.com>.
Thanks Yash, Lefty,
Thanks very much, I have a lot of experience in Java EE and other opensources. I have finished more than 25+ successful java EE enterprise production implementations.
1. I wanted to start contributing to ASF, I wouldn't mind the project (not for now) , and hence like the 'new comer' section suggested, I am looking at all the defects, GSOC and Mentor defects, but I haven't come across anything relevant. Is it possible that any of you could share a potential 'defect' as an example, I will try to look for others on the similar lines?
2. Should I look for bugs with status 'New', or type as bug, implementation, new feature... Is there any specific logic to this?
Regards,
Prakash.

Hi Prashant Tyagi,
Adding you to this mail list since you have similar questions.
Do not hesitate to ask other questions, someone will always be around to
answer. And pardon us for late answers; everyone dedicates personal hours
for community and sometimes we miss couple of threads.
Good luck.

Re: Unable to find bug tracker list
Posted by Yash Sharma <ya...@gmail.com>.
Hi Prakash,
1. As a starting point your java knowledge should be good enough since most
of the projects have newbie/trivial tasks which you can pick up. However
the sooner you start understanding the project the easier it would be for
you to pick up critical and interesting tasks. Most projects also entertain
contributions as docs which should be a good starting point as well.
2. Users and Dev list should again be good to start with. If you have not
got any mails that just means there is no conversation going on and people
are enjoying the weekend.
Having said that, enjoy working on project of your choice and drop a note
in case you stumble upon any issues.
Happy Coding!

Thanks again Lefty for the info. I followed the links and got lot more information. I am interested in few projects but wanted to know two more things;
1. Can I contribute to a project if I just know the programming language well (Say Java), and not know much about the project (Say Cassandra)?
2. I see that there are 4 mailing lists 'Users, Developers, Committers, client library'. I subscribed to Developers list, I got a confirmation that my id has been subscribed, but haven't received any mail. Is this the mailing list I need to watch if I want to start contributing?
Thanks and regards
Prakaskh.

Prakash, you can find the bug tracker for each project by following links
in the projects directory (https://projects.apache.org/projects.html).
For example, if you were interested in the Hive project you could scroll
down the list of projects to find Apache Hive and follow this link: Apache
Hive <https://projects.apache.org/project.html?hive>. The project page has
a Development section that includes "Bug-tracking" which gives this link to
the Hive JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE. The Summary page has a menu on
the left, and Issues
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:issues-panel>
is
the first item in the menu.
Other projects use Bugzilla instead of JIRA. For example, see the Apache
Ant page <https://projects.apache.org/project.html?ant>.
You can also reach bug trackers from the individual project home pages,
which are easy to find with any search engine, but they may use different
names (Hive says "Issue Tracking" and Ant says "Bug Database") and the
links will be in different places on the home page, so I recommend using
the project list as described above.
Thank you for your interest in contributing.
