Guide for new committers
First thing is to sort out some administrative tasks. Before your account
is created and commit access granted you must complete and fax back to
Apache the {{{http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas}Committer's License
Agreement}}.
While this process is sorting itself out it is recommended that you peruse
the various guides provided by Apache. All the guides are located in the
{{{http://www.apache.org/dev/}Development Infrastructure Information}}.
Of particular interest is the {{{http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html}Committer's FAQ}} and the
{{{http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html}New Committer's Guide}}.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask any of the Maven
developers.
