| <body> |
| <section name="Introduction"> |
| <p>Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved in it. |
| We invite you to participate as much or as little as you choose. The roles |
| and responsibilities that people can assume in the project are based on |
| merit. Everybody's input matters! |
| </p> |
| <p>There are a variety of ways to participate. Regardless of how you choose |
| to participate, we suggest you join some or all of our <a href="lists.html">mailing lists</a>. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section name="Use the Products & Give Us Feedback"> |
| <p>Using the products,reporting bugs, making feature requests, etc. is by |
| far the most important role. It's your feedback that allows the technology |
| to evolve. |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="mail-lists.html">Join Mailing Lists</a></li> |
| <li><a href="releases.html">Download Binary Builds</a></li> |
| <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10401">Report Bugs & Request New Features</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section name="Contribute Code or Documentation Patches"> |
| <p>In this role, you participate in the actual development of the code. If this |
| is the type of role you'd like to play, here are some steps (in addition to |
| the ones above) to get you started: |
| <ul> |
| <li> <a href="list-guidelines.html#guidelines">Read Mailing List Guidelines </a></li> |
| <li> <a href="library.html">Review Reference Library </a></li> |
| <li> <a href="releases.html">Download the Source Code</a></li> |
| <li> <a href="source-repository.html">Access SVN Repository </a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p>Any and all new development or bug fixing uses the latest code base. |
| If you have a patch, it should be submitted against the latest available |
| code. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section name="Getting Support on the Lists"> |
| <p>We do all development and bug fixing on the latest available code base. |
| If you've encountered what you think is a bug, please first check the |
| <a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10401">issues database</a> for known issues. If you |
| can't find your bug, make sure you're using the latest code base. We are |
| not able to fix bugs on earlier code bases. |
| </p> |
| <p>Please include any relevant version information and the error message |
| text, if there is one. If you have a problem with a specific interface, |
| like find_business, you'll likely be asked to post a log of the SOAP |
| message exchanges between your client and the jUDDI server. You can |
| use the axis tool |
| <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/developers-guide.html">TCPMon</a> |
| to capture these messages. |
| </p> |
| <p>Remember, Apache helps those that help themselves. Please take a look |
| at Eric S. Raymond's and Rick Moen's explanation of |
| <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">"How to Ask Questions The Smart Way</a>. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| <section name="jUDDI Wiki"> |
| <p>Like other Apache projects, jUDDI maintains a wiki, a sort of virtual |
| meeting place for the jUDDI community. This is a resource available |
| to everyone, and you are encouraged to contribute. This is a good resource |
| for 'HowTos' for common configuration issues. |
