Re: ways to contribute
I'm sorry for late response. I've not got my email client right to
handle mailing lists and thought project was stale for several weeks.

No, actually I had decided to move on to other project after seeing no
activity here. But I would still like to pitch in.
Sagara, I guess, you would be the right person to ask what's worth
working on? It appears, you've fixed a lot of issues and many of them
are not committed, so it would not be wise for me just to pick one.
And congratulations on your new status!

Both facts you mentioned are true for some extend but the main
reason is WODEN-211 [1] . There is a ongoing process to make Woden
directory layout to follow more Maven conventions, this will result in
to lot of changes in directory layout. Keeping other changes as
patches Until WODEN-211 committed is easy for project maintenance and
also avoid possible conflicts.

Thank you, I'll look into 1.1 and 2.0 specifications for what has to
be done.
One more question about the process. I still don't understand why all
the patches people made are never committed. Is it a casual for apache
projects to merge all the patches in milestone release? Or is it just
a lack of work force? From my experience, many people modifying same
file can create some problems with svn.
Thanks,
Nikita

Nice to hear your interest.

Hopefully after next couple of weeks I'm planing to start works
targeting M9 release.Since most of the Apache projects depend on
volunteer contributions, a project can be very active or idle time to
time. That nature is common for Woden too :)
As Jeremy suggested one way to start is pick any JIRA issue that you
are interested, once you pick a JIRA Issue you may have a discussion
on mailing list about your approach or any clarification/help
required. I'm pretty much sure our senior people will help out.
BTW sometimes ago Lawrence have mentioned [1] some impotent areas that
we expect to have contributions, I think if you like you can start
with one of them.
specially following areas will add some value to our next release.
- Updating the Woden Axiom based implementation to the WSDL 2.0
recommendation. (Woden has two models: one based on DOM and one based
on OM :Apache Axiom. The DOM model is up-to-date but OM model is some
what
outdated and need to be updated )
- Adding validation logic for more WSDL 2.0 assertions.
- Updating the WSDL 1.1 -> 2.0 converter to the WSDL 2.0 recommendation.
