Hi,
I think there is a one important document missing. I really liked a doc that Tim Fox created for HornetQ in the past
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/BecomingACommitter
I was thinking about writing it myself in the form of do this, checkout this, prepare that, do this but then I realized I cannot. What would be the best way for newbie to start with SwitchYard? Is there a backlog of tasks/feature requests that can be chosen by new starters so they can start contributing? Logical would be to identify most important Camel components and create a serie of tasks to support a configuration so the potential committer can have something they can choose from?
What is preferred way for contribution - diff patch, git pull?
I envision the following structure of the document
- How to prepare the development environment - which branch clone, how to se-up either command line env or Eclipse
- How to choose the task to work on to avoid duplication of efforts and minimize the risk of not accepting the contribution
- What is the format of the sources to be accepted - any coding standards, licence headers?
- How to submit the contribution?
- When and how should I expect feedback about my contribution?
And there should be a link to such document from project pages and top of project space.
