This document describes functionality that is either missing or not finished
within the TDK as well as the owners of implementing or coordinating the
implementation of these features.
Wish List functionality is stuff that we would like to see implemented, but is
not critical for release. This is the area where you can take ownership of a
part of the project and contribute back.
If you are a new developer to the TDK or even an existing developer, these are
areas where you can take ownership and help complete. Please do not ask us how
you can help, but rather specific questions about how you think that these
items should be implemented. It is up to you to take initiative and provide
solutions to the missing functionality described below. ;-)
It is always possible to take ownership of any portion of the project. The way
to do this is to communicate with the owner of the portion and then come to
some sort of agreement about what portions you will be splitting up or taking
over. If you cannot get a response from the people in charge of the projects,
assume they are dead and fill yourself in.
Documentation is *always* appreciated in any form. There are two ways to
provide helpful documentation. The first way is to write up HTML or straight
text documentation and send it to one of the primary authors directly (we are
also willing to give you CVS write access if you wish). The second way is to
post Questions/Answers to the FAQ
under the Turbine sections there. There is a Getting Started document named
"getting-started.html" that could always use additional documentation,
examples and clarification. You need to take the initiative and just start
writing down your thoughts and concerns and questions and answers and then
giving those back to us.
If you need more detailed help, please send mail to the mailing list
(turbine-dev@jakarta.apache.org) and ask your specific questions there.
