Question regarding contributing as a developer

[Karthik Mahadevan <mk...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am interested in contributing as a developer to the apache open source 
foundation. I have gone through the website but would like more input about 
projects that I can actively work on.

Please give me suggestions on how I should go about this. Are there any 
projects that I can jump in, start looking at code and start programming? 
Please help.

Thanks,
Karthik

Karthik,

What kind of things are you interested in?  There are a lot of projects 
in the ASF - and all of them are always interested in more help! :>.

If you have a look at http://www.apache.org/ , you'll see a list of 
projects on the left.  Might be a place to start, but feel free to come 
back to the list with your areas of interest and we can try to point you 
in the right direction.

Cheers,
	Berin

hi

aPATCHy is well named :)

pick a project (or three ;) that interests you then subscribe to the 
developer and user lists and checkout and build the source from CVS. 
the best way to start contributing is by contributing documentation 
patches and by answering user questions. these are both great ways to 
learnt the code - and quite a lot of fun.

once you feel confident and comfortable with your knowledge of the code 
and at home with the list netiquette, volunteer to take on some TODO - 
or just start sending in patches.

there are quite a few projects that i know could use more developers 
but i'd need to know more about your interests...
