anyway I can contribute

hello all -

I wanted to see if there was I can help contribute towards the efforts of
the development of Tuscany.

My background and strengths:

1. Experience with several programming languages - Java, C++, Python and OO
methods.
2. DBMS design and development.
3. Web-app implementations is Struts and home-grown frameworks.
4. Some development is Tuscany - with much help from the user community.
5. Principled organizer, re-factoring approaches.
6. 15+ years in design / development.

I am still learning the Tuscany framework and looking to get good at it -
especially interested in integration, deployment aspects with other
frameworks.

In my discussions in the user community before we briefly touched upon
restarting the Wiki but don't know where that stands now. Am open to
whatever you think would be best to start with.

Am available to discuss on phone with you as well as suits best.

Thanks for your consideration.

Regards.

monosij

Hi Monosij

Sounds like you're taking the right approach to me. Work through the
material there is and see how you get on. We do need work on samples
and docs for the 2.x code that we've been working on. You'll have a
better understanding of what's required once you've had a chance to
try using the code. All suggestions are most welcome.

Regards

Simon

hi Ant -

Thanks. I am still a beginner with Tuscany so as I finish this application I
am working on I think I will have a better understanding of the framework
and can contribute to the dev efforts.

Unless you think I need to help work on the framework to write docs on it
and maintain website?

Maybe I can work through the tutorials and make sure they all work and write
the docs for them - and overall docs?

I have not contributed to an open source effort before - so do not want to
hamper your efforts either.

Will wait to get an understanding from you.

Thanks.

monosij

NB: Also on the note of build environments - Maven is not my forte, however
I have begun to use Gradle which seems to be a much better build environment
based on Groovy. Just wanted to put it out there in case you have not
considered it.

There are plenty of things that need doing so i'm sure we can find you
things to help with, what those are really comes down to what you're
interested in. One place to look is at one of the many open JIRA, for
example something in these lists:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+TUSCANY+AND+fixVersion+%3D+%22Java-SCA-2.0%22+AND+status+%3D+Open+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC&mode=hide

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+TUSCANY+AND+fixVersion+%3D+%22Java-SCA-2.x%22+AND+status+%3D+Open+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC&mode=hide

Some of the JIRA in those wont be appropriate or are no longer valid
but if you tell us a few from there which sound interesting to you it
would give us some idea of the type of things that interest you?

Would you like to develop some new function from scratch? There are
still a couple of things in the SCA specs which we don't yet implement
which you could help with.

Or is there something that you've used in Tuscany that has seemed a
bit less that perfect, if you tell us what those are we could give you
some ideas about how you could improve it.

Or if you know Maven there are some issues with the build that you
could help with.

The website and doc could really do with a lot of work to catch up
with Tuscany 2.x and OASIS SCA so if you're interested in that aspect
then there would be plenty to keep you busy.
