Share your experience/questions on how to participate in Tuscany development (WAS Help Needed on How to start working)

[haleh mahbod <hm...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

It is great that Ramesh asked ''how to start working on Tuscany' (Thank you
Ram). I wonder how many other users/developers are having the same kind of
questions?
Your valuable input can be used to improve the resources that help new
developers come on board quickly.

Can you share your experience? What would help you to start participating in
Tuscany?

For example, the attached thread made me think that we could improve the
'getting started page'  by adding the following to the list that is
already there:

- Help develop the Java SCA infrastructure   (link to resources such as
architecture)
- Help develop extensions for Java SCA (link to resources such as extension
guide)

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Haleh

Hi Ramesh

As Luciano suggests there are several ways to get started. Which one
you choose depends on what you want to do, for example.

A - if you want to learn about Tuscany Java SCA and potentially use it
to build applications you should download a release [1] and try out
some of the samples and demos. Once you are a bit more familiar with
running the samples walk through some of the getting started guides
[2]

B - If you want to get involved in building the Tuscany software
itself then it's going to be useful to do all of the things from A
anyhow. Then as Luciano says a good thing yo do would be to start
picking up a few JIRA.

When you say "projects" in your previous post are you referring to
work that needs to be done on the Tuscany runtime? Or are you looking
for help with your own BPEL/Java projects?

Regards

Simon
