Have you read the materials at http://www.apache.org/dev? If not, please do. If you have, please list your specific questions so we can answer them, and hopefully document the answers. To look at the above: 1. How to commit? Answered in www.apache.org/dev. Summary: send patches through the issue tracking system, we will review them and commit them. You can't commit yourself until you're a committer, by definition. 2. What is Tomcat's definition of patch? Same as virtually every other software project out there in the world. It's a set of changes to one or more files in the Tomcat source code repository, represented usually as text diffs from the existing versions in the repository. Again, answered at www.apache.org/dev.
