The Apache Roller project is being built by the open source community for the open source community - we welcome your input and contributions!

...

Anybody can contribute to Roller and anybody can join the project, it's an all-volunteer effort. The way to join the project is to subscribe to the development mailing list and start acting like a member of the project: asking questions, making suggestions, responding to question, proposing changes and submitting fixes and patches. If you get along well with others, do quality work and show some commitment to the project somebody will most likely nominate you to be a committer.

What is a Contributor?

A contributor is someone who contributes ideas, code or documentation (including updating our wiki) to the project

We would like all contributors of ideas, code and documentation to have a signed an Apache Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA).

What does it signing ICLA mean?

Signing an ICLA means that you understand that what you have contributed (or want to contribute) is subject to the Apache License and that you are happy to do this.  The ICLA is not tied to any employer you many have. Details of the Apache Licenses and Contributor License Agreements can be found at the link:  http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas

NOTE: Only one ICLA only needs to be completed once regardless of the number of Apache projects to which you contribute.

How do you verify that my ICLA has been filed with the ASF?

This is how we check that your ICLA has been officially filed.

  1. The ASF publishes a list of all the ICLAs it has on file at the following link:  Persons with signed CLAs but who are not (yet) committers.
  2. When you file your ICLA, we verify that your name appears on this list.

If you're a Roller user already, you probably have ideas for some cool new features. If you're new to Roller, a student or teacher looking for project ideas then ask on the mailing list for ideas. Another way to find project ideas is to help triage Roller bug reports and RFEs in our issue tracking system (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL). You'll definitely find ideas for fixes, improvements and new features that way.
