Here are some guidelines for the MINA project :
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MINA/Developer+Guide

"We follow Sun's standard Java coding convention^ 
<http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/> except that we always use spaces 
instead of tabs"

Regarding the doco, well, standard Javadoc should be used. When you are 
implementing an interface, as the methods are supposed to be documented 
in the interface, it's enough to add a {@inheritdoc} tag, unless you 
have added or changed the method's semantic.

Do not put too many comments in the code, and always ask yourself if 
adding a comment is not just the signal for a too complex code ...

Otherwise, don't be shy. Older committers will drive you the first few 
weeks, but basically, you are supposed to be just as good as we are. If 
you get some mails telling you that 'you should do that this way, or 
that way', don't feel offended. The ultimate target is that the code 
does not have a personal style, and to allow a beginner to fix it 
('writing code for the average programmer' style ;)

I have modified JIRA, you should be able to assign some issues to 
yourself now. Just tell me if it's working.

Thanks !
