My Sleeves are Rolled Up

[michael <mi...@michaelmcgrady.com>]

I would like to jump in and help.  My help will be on a learning curve.  I 
know Java and I have coded about every area you can think of in Java with 
an emphasis in networking, io and webwork.  However, I am new to being part 
of an open source community and will need a bit of mentoring.  I would like 
to work in an area that increases my understanding and flexibility to work 
on every part of this project.  Anyone have a little time to guide me along 
at the start?  Right now I am just like the kid at the candy store.  Don't 
know which way to turn.  Thanks if you have time.

Michael

I'd browse the FAQ

http://geronimo.apache.org/faq.html#how-to-help

and the wiki

http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo

maybe hang out on IRC

if you want to get a feel for the code, it might be worth browsing the 
issue tracker & trying to find some issue that needs fixing
