Newbie Help Idea

[Joshua Pritt <jp...@bellsouth.net>]

I think if we can have a list of modules that people could write would 
be helpful. For those who don't have enough experience to dive straight 
in to the code, there could be a list of classes needed and what each 
class should do. Example, geronimo needs a class that takes such and 
such as parameters and returns such and such and does such and such. It 
seems like a lot of people want to help, so by breaking it up into such 
a list would result in a lot of versions of each listed class giving 
more to pick and choose from and more ideas for each module.

Just a thought,

Agreed. We should all try and put as many tasks into the TODO list to 
give people ideas on what to do. (I"ve just added a few more).

http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheJ2EE/TO-DO

There's heaps to do - we should really try and break down existing 
tasks into small chunks to make it easier for folks to jump in and 
start doing things. Though in the early days its a little hard until 
the core framework is in place to know what to add - but it should be a 
priority so we can all get stuck in and help. Though thats another task 
in itself - find all the JSRs we should/need to implement (have just 
added that to the wiki).

As soon as we've got our issue tracking system (which I hope is JIRA 
but would settle for Scarab if we must, please not bugzilla) it'll be 
really easy to add & manage tasks that way. Until then the Wiki should 
allow us to have a page per task & list folks working on it etc.
