Contributing to Struts 2.xx

["Kalra, Ashwani" <as...@capgemini.com>]

Hi,
I want to start contributing in Struts 2.xx. I have read some intitial
documentation of how to contribute. Out of curiousity, I am asking some
questions here. Please excuse if they have already being discussed.

1. How much time initially I would require to put in. All of you are
also employees of some companies working on some projects and  also
devoting time here. How much time on an average you all guys put in. Is
it mostly in weekends ?

2. Is the idea of ajaxifying the Mailreader application being discussed
for Struts 2. I want to start from here. Will it be a good idea or
someone is working on it already.


Thanks
Ashwani

There is no specific amount of time required for contributing.
Contributing means you help us out, either by reporting problems or
doing some patches (take a look at the Jira[1] for unresolved issues
and tasks), by finetuning documentation, helping out on the
mailinglists, or even just helping to spread the word about Struts 2.

Average time ? Depends on different factors; some users contribute
once, or for the duration of a project. Others have mutual interests,
and are paid to work with, and improve, Struts 2. Some work during the
weekends or at night.

If you read the link about merit [2], then you'll understand there's
no minimal required amount of work to put in - every minut you do,
however, is appreciated.

I do believe work has already started on it by Martin, and you might
want to check out the sandbox.
