http://www.apache.org/dev/, especially the "How the ASF works" and "Introduction for contributors" pieces.
In a nutshell: 1. Join this mailing list, post ideas / comments / whatever. 2. Put your contributions (code, docs, whatever) into Bugzilla at issues.apache.org, and committers will get them into the codebase as appropriate. 3. If/when the other committers think you've contributed a lot of good stuff, you'll get voted a committer yourself. That's it. Many other open-source projects work this way. This is not new, nor unique to Tomcat. Yoav On Dec 31, 2007 8:07 PM, Yaakov Chaikin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > This might be or might not be off topic for this mailing list...
