Help Wanted, by eawb

I was asked recently, “What is the expected commitment level if I want to get involved?” Very good question. Start by sending me an email: asa dot openliberty at zenn dot net.

This project has already seen a great deal of support from people offering ideas, opinions, code for reference, code for use in the project, implementations for test harness installations, and advanced hosting! These are awesome and completely appreciated! Each provides its own value at its own level.

The question, however, was more about getting involved in the direct development of the libraries. The developers who commit to working on this project will naturally (and organizationally) have the largest impact on the execution and direction of the development. At the moment we’re in the gathering/documenting/architecture phase, but very soon we’ll start committing code. When this happens we’ll need more support from some people who want to write code. This can range from a few classes to a large section of the code! The commitment level that will make this project a success is simply: Offer what you can do, and then deliver

I’m looking forward to working with other developers. If you want to get started you can checkout (subversion) the java-xmltooling project from Shibboleth repository, as we’ll be using this xml tooling as the basis for our work.

later,

asa
