to-do list for Tomcat
Hello,
As a new comer to the Tomcat project, I am eager to contribute
as a developer. But I didn't find a to-do list or a task list
for this project. Any help in directing me to the right place
would be greatly appreciated.
Brian

Christopher,
Thanks for your answers. This kind of feedback is exactly what I am
looking for. If we can post this message on the apache website, it
would help "new blood" tremedously.

Hi Brian. I didn't want this to go unanswered, since we are always
looking for new blood =)
Your question depends largely on which code branch you plan on getting
involved in, and what you would like to do. Our bug tracking system can
be found here:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/index.html
Anyone can query the database, view/change bug states, make comments,
etc. Checking out the bugzilla to see if there are any outstanding bugs
you might be able to help track down and/or fix is always a good way to
get your feet wet in a new project (and will earn you *alot* of friends :)
The bugs are listed by Program, "Tomcat 3" or "Tomcat 4". If you would
like any help with querying/using Bugzilla, feel free to ask.
As far as new/desired features, this varies by branch. Tomcat 4 is the
next-generation container which implements the new 2.3 Servlet Spec.
Tomcat 4.0 was jut released. Tomcat 3 is the long-standing container
that implements the 2.2 Servlet Spec. Tomcat 3.3, the performance and
modularity refactoring of the 3.2 tree and (likely) last release in the
3.x series, is currently in Release Candidate, and the official version
is due out very shortly. Pluggable modules will continue to be developed
for 3.3 in the future, although the core container itself is pretty much
considered "feature complete" at this point.
In the 3.3 tree, the files of interest for some ideas on new things to
be done are:
changes3.3
STATUS.html
RELEASE-PLAN-3.3
In the 4.0 tree, check out "RELEASE-NOTES-4.0.txt". There are
undoubtedly other things planned that are not necessarily listed in
"RELEASE-NOTES-4.0.txt", and if you hang out on the dev list, most of
them will come up at one point or another.
Unless you really aren't into investigating/fixing existing bugs, I
would recommend taking a look at Bugzilla to see if there are any bugs
you would like to help track down. With releases in both branches
currently ongoing, now is a good time to be a bug fixer :)
