PDFBox needs you! (was: Re: Performance Tuning)

[Jeremias Maerki <de...@jeremias-maerki.ch>]

Daniel,

I'm speaking here as a mentor for PDFBox incubation. One of the most
important goals of the incubation of PDFBox here at the ASF is to build
a community. Everyone is invited to help out, any way she/he can.
Answering questions: great! Writing documentation, code and submitting
patches: even better! Unfortunately, PDFBox hasn't seen much developer
attention lately. So PDFBox needs every helping hand. Please continue
what you're doing: discuss improvements, collectively decide which roads
to take, write code and submit patches via JIRA. Hopefully, they will be
reviewed and processed in a timely manner. If not (sadly, that might
happen as there are no active committers at the moment which probably leaves
the job to the mentors for now), please just yell again. Once we can see
someone contribute on a regular basis, we'll see to it that he can
become a committer with write access to the code repository. Only
through that will PDFBox be able to graduate.

That's not a call to just you, Daniel, but to everyone on this list.
Andreas Lehmkühler, too. Every PDFBox user. Please take the opportunity
to shape PDFBox's future, to make it even better!

Hi,

I'm using PDFBox and will - as time permits - work on the project. Maybe
the most fitting approach for me currently is to spend some spare
minutes every now and then on looking through the bug reports and add
comments or submit patches.

best wishes, Rainer
