Hi all,
i am using Lucene for quite some time now at my work and it is a
quite amazing software. As i have now submitted my PhD, i am searching
for a new things i could do in my spare time. So as i am frequently
using the software and i am an experiences Java programmer i would
like to make my contributions. So my question now is, where to start.
Could you give me a hint for example to an Jira issue which needs to
be fixed?
I hope i can be of some help :)
Regards
Elmar

Sounds great! The best way to get started is to start looking at open issues in JIRA and tackling any that scratch your fancy.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Asummary-panel
For some suggestions, you might cheat by first taking a look at the issues that have been labeled as good candidates for Google Summer of Code. Any of those might be a good way to get started.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+12310110+AND+labels+%3D+gsoc2011
The best advice is to just start communicating on the list, following JIRA issues you are interested in, and contributing patches/discussion where it makes sense. You will quickly get a sense of which issues might make sense to work on. It's also a good idea to follow and participate in the user lists.
Good luck and welcome to the Lucene community!
