Hi Dan,
Thanks a lot for the information. I will pick up few JIRAs to start with and
then later will take responsibility of a new feature.


Regards,
John

Hi John,
Great to hear that you're interested!

There's a couple of different ways that you can contribute:

1. the "usual" way is to start contributing patches to existing JIRAs, 
or to raise new JIRAs for new features and contribute that new feature 
as a patch.  After a little while of doing this, the community will take 
a vote as to whether to grant you commiter access.

2. alternatively, you could start working on new contributions through 
the apache-extras.org site [1], where we have a (currently empty) 
subproject isis-extras [2].  The bar for contributing to the isis-extras 
project is much lower: I can grant you commit access there immediately.  
Then, you can start work on something, and later on join the project 
"proper" if we accept the isis-extras code as a donation and vote you in.

In terms of things to get started on, the first thing is to set up your 
development environment, as outlined in [3] or [4]. Then, you can either:
a) have a look at some of the JIRAs to see if any look like ones you 
could work on.
b) think about a new component you might like to work on:
   - a new viewer (a big job; see [6] on my blog for an idea of what 
this takes to do)
   - a new security implementation
   - a new programming model for another language, eg Scala, Fantom or Go
   - a new profile store
c) enhance an existing component: eg
   - JSON support for the Restful viewer
   - BDD support for a new framework, eg Cucumber

Hope that's of some use,

Cheers
Dan
