<p>
The Apache UIMA&trade; project is actively seeking new contributors to work on all
aspects of the project. We need and appreciate all contributions,
including documentation help, source code development and feedback.
</p>
<p>A typical path to contributing might start with joining the
<a href="mail-lists.html">UIMA mailing lists</a>
where discussions are occuring among the users and developers, and getting a
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/UIMA">JIRA</a>
id and posting feature improvements, bug reports, etc. to the change tracking
system we're using.
</p>
<p>Anyone is invited to contribute to the project; for contributions
beyond simple typo fixes or short patches, we request you fill out, sign, and send in
Apache's Individual Contributer License Agreement
<a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas">(ICLA)</a> - and if appropriate, the
matching Corporate Contributor License Agreement
<a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas">(CCLA)</a>. Then you can post larger
patches to Jira issues you raise.
</p>
<p>Contributors who develop a history of successful participation over time are invited
to join the project as a <b>committer</b>, which means they will have direct write-access
to the SVN repositories for the project.
</p>
<p>Quick references:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Discussion occurs on the <a href="mail-lists.html">UIMA mailing lists</a>
</li>
<li>
Information on access to the project source code is
available <a href="svn.html">here</a>.
</li>
<li>
Bugs and other issues can be posted on the project
<a href=" https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=0 ">JIRA</a>
</li>
<li>
Additional documentation and discussion can be found on the project
<a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/UIMA/">wiki</a>

<p>Everyone can contribute to UIMA as a contributor; contributors who
build up a history of successful contributions over time are invited to
become committers. The difference is that committers have direct write
access to the project SVN repositories, while contributors post their
contributions to Jira issues where they're first reviewed, and then committed
by a committer to the project's SVN repository.
See <a href="https://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html">https://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html</a>
for a good overview of working as a contributor.
</p>
<p>We ask contributors of significant amounts of code to fill out and
send into Apache, an
<a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas">Individual
Contributors License Agreement (ICLA)</a>
(and perhaps also a
<a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas">Corporate
Contributors License Agreement (CCLA)</a>).
</p>
<p>
If you're interested in committing to the project, you need to establish
a history over time of successful contributions to the project. After that,
you can be invited to become a committer; see
<a href="roles.html">this page</a> for more details on this process.
</p>
<ul>
<li><p> You'll need to fill out some legal paperwork and go through
a process to get an apache committer account: See
<a class="external" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html">
New Committers Guide</a>,
<a class="external" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://apache.org/dev/contributors.html"> Contributors</a>, and
<a class="external" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://apache.org/dev/committers.html"> Committers</a>
for more details. </p>
</li>
<li><p> After you've received an email from
<a href="mailto:root@apache.org">root@apache.org</a>
with your committer account information, change your initial password:
Login by 'ssh -l &lt;username&gt; people.apache.org';
run 'passwd';
run 'svnpasswd'. See
<a class="external" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://apache.org/dev/version-control.html">Committer Subversion Access
</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li><p> Check out the UIMA sources and test your svn account:
<a href="https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/uima">
SubversionRepository</a>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All Contributors and Committers should</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Sign up for a
<a class="external" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/signup.action">WiKi</a> account.
</p>
</li>
<li><p> Sign up for an
<a class="external" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/">
ASF JIRA</a> account.
