The Apache Lenya Community
Here you will find information on how to interact with and become a member of the Apache Lenya community. Please read Contributing to Apache Forrest as well because it contains some more information about the process.
Contribute to the Wiki
The Lenya Wiki is the scratchpad for the Lenya documentation as well as a whiteboard that is used by the community to sketch out proposals about the further direction of the project.
Contribute code
Please use our Bug tracker to submit patches instead of sending them to the mailing list.
All our committers started in creating an account there ;-)
You can contribute code as patch via our Bug tracker. For this, you file a bug entry in Bugzilla, using the links provided below. The bug entries in Bugzilla should provide a description of what the patch does, and how to apply it. Any further discussion should occur on the Lenya Developer list (see mailing lists)
Preparing a Patch
- For general procedures please see the Cocoon documentation How to Prepare a Patch and
How to Contribute a Patch via Bugzilla.
Note that the actual command to create the patch is
svn diff(instead ofcvs diff -uas suggested in said documents). - Make sure you follow the coding guidelines.
- Test your patch by applying it to a fresh checkout of Lenya. In Eclipse for instance, this is done by choosing "apply patch" in the team perspective.
- Follow this link to enter your patch in Bugzilla: add a new patch.
Apply open patches
If you as committer feel that you have some spare time, here is a list of open issues. Just go ahead fix them ;-).
