| Getting Involved in the Archiva Project |
| |
| Archiva is an open source project and relies heavily on an active community. |
| If you need help, you should look to the community. Equally, please look |
| for ways that you may contribute back. |
| |
| This page provides some pointers for receiving help and contributing to the |
| Archiva community. |
| |
| |
| * Getting Help |
| |
| There are a number of ways to find help if you have an issue. |
| |
| * <<Read the documentation>>\ |
| Read the {{{http://archiva.apache.org/docs/${archivaCurrentDevVersion}/userguide}user}} and {{{http://archiva.apache.org/docs/${archivaCurrentDevVersion}/adminguide}administration}} |
| documentation. |
| |
| * <<Search the Wiki>>\ |
| Search the |
| {{{http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARCHIVA}Archiva Wiki}}. |
| Lots of useful information has been contributed by users here. |
| |
| * <<Submit an issue>>\ |
| Search the {{{./issue-tracking.html}Jira}} issue tracking system. The problem |
| you are experiencing may be a known issue and others may have suggested |
| work-arounds. If the issue is new, you should consider submitting a report. |
| |
| * <<Search the mailing lists>>\ |
| Search the mailing lists. Look {{{./mailing-lists.html}here}} for a list of |
| Archiva mailing lists. If you cannot find everything you need, ask a |
| question on the appropriate list. |
| |
| ** More Information |
| |
| If you are new to Archiva (or Maven), there are a number of helpful resources |
| on the Maven website which provide step-by-step guides to getting help, |
| useful information regarding etiquette, and lots of other resources. |
| |

| |
| |
| * How to Contribute |
| |
| As with any open source project, there are several ways you can help: |
| |
| * <<Join a mailing list>>\ |
| Join a {{{./mailing-lists.html}mailing list}} and answer other user's questions. |
| You can also meet up with developers and users on <<<#archiva>>> on <<<irc.freenode.net>>> |
| |
| * <<Fix bugs>>\ |
| Report bugs, feature requests and other issues in the |
| {{{./issue-tracking.html}Jira}} issue tracking system. Also, read up on |
| {{{./developers/how-we-do-things.html}how we do things}} in Archiva. |
| |
| * <<Build it>>\ |
| Check out the {{{./source-repository.html}source code}} and {{{./developers/building.html}build Archiva}} for yourself. |
| Fix bugs and submit patches for reported issues (both those you find, or that others have filed). |
| |
| * <<Write documentation>>\ |
| Help with the documentation by pointing out areas that are lacking or |
| unclear, and if you are so inclined, submitting patches to correct it. You |
| can quickly contribute rough thoughts to the |
| {{{http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARCHIVA} wiki}}, or you can |
| volunteer to help collate and organise information that is already there. |
| |
| * <<Contribute Patches>> |
| You can attache source patches to our JIRA. Or contribute using github pull requests our github source mirror is |
| available here {{{https://github.com/apache/archiva}https://github.com/apache/archiva}} |
