getting started

[Mark <el...@gmail.com>]

Hello -

I have just signed up to the MINA developers list.  I would like to
contribute to this project, as I have been developing server-side
systems for a few years.

Since I am not completely up on the code yet, I though doing some
documentation first would be a good start.  The process of building
and testing MINA looks like an area that needs help.  I would like to
start there.

If there are any coding tasks that need to be done that would be good
for an experienced java developer, but not an experienced MINA
developer, let me know.  I think this is a cool project and I look
forward to helping out.

unit tests are a great way to help out, as well as writing  
documentations.. if you wanted to write a beginners walk-through or  
tutorial that would be superb.
