Get Involved page
Hi all,
we are still missing a get involved page on our web site.
Here is my proposal:
http://opennlp.staging.apache.org/opennlp/get-involved.html
I once also proposed to add a "Contributions Wanted" page to list
a couple of issues and things where we would like to receive contributions
for. Should we add such a page? Any opinions?

Maybe I missed your point, what do you mean with a list to an automatic
list?

Yes, and it will also help when it is time to submit Google Summer of Code
proposals.

I think this is a great idea. This will also be a useful resource for ideas
for students doing projects in my courses.

Yeah, lets put it on the Get Involved page, if it gets too long one day
we can
split it and move the part about contributions to a new page.
The label is MAHOUT_INTRO_CONTRIBUTE.
See this mail from Grant:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/mahout-dev/201110.mbox/%3CD88FAECD-907C-466A-BA31-941DF867E3E4@apache.org%3E
Not sure how it worked out.

Good idea. Which label do they use?

I would put it into Get Involved, it seems like it will be 2 paragraphs:
one with a list and one with a link. However, if 1) from above is large
enough (which is up to you and other familiar with the code base to see)
then it might deserve a separate page.

+1 to add such a list, the Mahout people use tags to label jiras which
are suitable for new contributors. We could also do that and set up a filter
which shows these jiras only when clicking on a link.

Would you place it on the Get Involved page or should we make a new page
for that e.g. "Contributions Wanted"

I agree, I understand your point below, but even the list from JIRA is
better than nothing. I don't know how to get it. Probably I can figure it
out, but still if there would be a link that would be easier.

I see your point. It then should be more of a detailed roadmap, or wishlist
with some details in a form of itemized lists. General ideas for new stuff.
Basically, I see two parts of it:
1) itemized list of ideas for new stuff, a wishlist or roadmap kind of thing
2) list of JIRA issues: bugs, nuisances, feature requests and other
3) probably a permanent and a separate, evergreen item: documentation :)

This results in a list with more than 90 issues. I don't believe that
this is a good starting point
for someone who wants to start doing something.
Anyway we can easily link to such an issue list in jira.
We don't have issues for everything which someone might want to contribute.
Getting support for a new language or format support for a new language
is always
nice, but we only have a very few jiras for that.
It is the same story for new components which would make a good fit for
OpenNLP,
but we don't have jiras for, e.g. spell checking, dependency parsing,
SRL, entity disambiguation, etc.

I think a list to an automatic list of issues (JIRA report?) can be useful
right on get-involved page.
