Yes we always need more man power. Do you happen to be a j2ee developer? |
| 14 |
It would be great to have someone who actively uses things like Tomcat |
| 15 |
maintaining/helping in maintaining them. |

You can work on everything you like of course. Of course if you don't |
| 24 |
want to waste your efforts on something that someone else is already |
| 25 |
working on, I recommend joining #gentoo-java on Freenode. That is where |
| 26 |
you can find most of the people active in the Java development of Gentoo. |

Feel free to ask anything in #gentoo-java. And as a first tip towards |
| 34 |
becoming better in fixing, I will recommend to attach to patches against |
| 35 |
current ebuilds in the tree because that way developers can easily spot |
| 36 |
your changes and give the apropriate feedback. |

Also take a look at: |
| 44 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/gentoo-java-experimental |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
We have a couple of active users committing ebuilds to the experimental |
| 47 |
tree. So you can avoid duplicate work by first checking if the solution |
| 48 |
is already in experimental. From experimental we developers then move |
| 49 |
stuff to the official tree. |
