mentoring programme
Hey guys,
the newly founded Apache community development project [1] is offering a mentoring programme [2] to
people new to the ASF that want to do their first contribution to an Apache project. It is
especially targeted at students [3] participating in the Google Summer of Code but open for others
as well. I see this as a great chance to introduce young people to our projects even before their
career starts and at the same time get something back from them in the form of contributions. Just
imagine a bunch of student excited about Tapestry, spreading the word :). This requires a mentor on
participating projects, though.
Having said that, I'd volunteer to mentor 1 or 2 mentees but only if you think that it will be worth
it and that we'll be able to identify tasks a mentee can work on.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Uli

I would add new components and mixins (specially more visually
sophisticated and specialized ones) and certain issues in JIRA to your
list.
Expecting students to make contributions to the core frameworks (core and
ioc) is too much, but we can entice them to write nice looking, dynamic,
Javascript-heavy components and mixins. ;)
Even without commmiting access they can help in many ways. We could set up
something like the T4s contrib project in GitHub or other SCM provider and
then incorporate the best additions in T5, giving the proper credit to
them.

Integration with other libraries would be something very interesting to
Tapestry and to them, as they would learn something new by using them.

Hi,
I think this is excellent idea! There are also tons of tasks that one can
contribute that aren't directly tied to framework development like examples
library, example / best practices applications and documentation etc. to
name a few that can be used to drive people in.
I think that the T5 ecosystem would benefit most of work that is not
directly related to framework development, but usually these tasks are
rather boring for programmers, so I don't know how interested mentees would
be doing such nobody-else-want's-to-do-it tasks.
Depending on the skill level of the mentee they could do some jira hunting
and/or even separate library programming? (Meaning integration libraries to
some technologies which could be voted upon?)
Anyway, I think that it should be done and it would be benficial if you are
willing to donate your time to this cause.

I could mentor 1 too.
