 Reports to the Board of the Apache Software Foundation

+Getting involved with the Apache Velocity Project
+
+ Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved
+ in it. We invite you to participate as much or as little as you
+ choose. The roles and responsibilities that people can assume in the
+ project are based on merit. Everybody's input matters!
+
+ There are a variety of ways to participate. Regardless of how you
+ choose to participate, we suggest you join some or all of our mailing
+ lists.
+
+* Use Velocity and Give Us Feedback
+
+ Using Velocity, reporting bugs, making feature requests, et
+ cetera, is by far the most important role. Your feedback allows the
+ technology to evolve.
+
+    * {{{contact.html#Mailing lists}Join Mailing Lists}}
+
+    * {{{download.cgi#Production releases}Download Binary Builds}}
+
+    * {{{contact.html#Issue Tracking}Report bugs/Request additional features}}
+
+* Contribute Code or Documentation Patches
+
+ In this role, you participate in the actual development of the
+ code. If this is the type of role you'd like to play, here are some
+ steps (in addition to the ones above) to get you started:
+
+    * {{{how-it-works.html}Read Guidelines}}
+
+    * {{{reference-library.html}Review Reference Library}}
+
+    * {{{download.cgi}Download the Source Code}}
+
+    * {{{download.cgi#Source code repository}Access the Source Code Repository}}
+
+    * Contribute Patches
+
+ Here is one developer's advice how to get involved. It specifically
+ talks about Tomcat, but the general idea can applied to any of the
+ projects.
+
+    * {{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/contributing.html}Contributing -- Craig R. McClanahan}}
+
+ Here is another comment that was sent to the {{{http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/}Jakarta Turbine}}
+ Mailing List about the opensource process and the contrast between how an
+ opensource product and a proprietary product improve through the user
+ community.

+
+How the Apache Velocity project works
+
+ We have evolved into Top Level state from being a founding and
+ long-time member of the {{{http://jakarta.apache.org/}Apache Jakarta Project}}.
+
+ We own most of our rules and guidelines to the Jakarta project and
+ are grateful for the guidance from the Jakarta people. 
+
+ This is an evolving document and we expect it to branch away from the Jakarta
+ rules in the future. For the moment, we will reference the Jakarta project 
+ guidelines here and apply these as good as possible to the Apache Velocity
+ Project.
+
+* Project Guidelines
+
+ This document defines the guidelines of the Apache Velocity Project. It
+ includes definitions of the various categories of membership, who is
+ able to vote, how conflicts are resolved by voting, and the
+ procedures to follow for proposing and making changes to the codebase
+ of the Project.
+
+  [{{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/roles.html}Roles and Responsibilities}}]
+    Defines the recognized roles in the project.
+
+  [{{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/communication.html}Communication}}]
+    Defines how users and developers communicate.
+
+  [{{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html}Decision Making}}]
+    Defines how action items are proposed and voted on.
+
+  [{{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html}Source Repositories}}]
+    Defines how the Project's source code is organized and developed.
+
+  [{{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/management.html}Project Management}}]
+    Defines the roles and responsibilities of the Project Management Committee (PMC).
+
+  [{{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html}New Subproject Proposals}}]
+    Defines the methodology for proposing new top level Jakarta Subprojects.
+
+
+ Like its ancestor at {{{http://jakarta.apache.org/site/guidelines.html}The Jakarta Site}}, this
+ is a living document. Changes can be made by the Project Management
+ Committee. Suggestions for changes should be discussed on the mailing
+ list.
