Hello Prabhat,
The best way to contribute is to identify for yourself things that you
think are broken, or could be improved, and then propose a patch. A
couple of ways to identify possible candidates:
* Have you used a commons API, and wished it would do something
a little more? or a little different? In open source circles,
people often get involved initially by "scratching your own itch"
as the saying goes.
* Have you called up the bug reports <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/>
for the Commons project, and seen any bugs that you can create a
patch for?
* Have you checked your favorite package's TODO or STATUS files
for things that have already been thought about, but just are
not done yet?
Craig
