  1. Submit an individual contributor agreement (ICLA) to the Apache Software Foundation via mail or FAX. See: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt
  2. Download the Roller code from SVN and get setup to build it. There are instructions for this on the Roller Source Code page and in the Build Guide.
  3. Study the parts of the code you'd like to change, enhance, add to, etc.
  4. (optional but recommended) Write a short proposal describing the changes you'd like to make and discuss that proposal on the Roller dev list. Try to get consensus on the need for the changes and the implementation.
  5. Implement your changes and once you've got them working, create a new issue in Roller's JIRA issue tracker and attach your patch to that.
  6. Urge, remind and pester the Roller committers to evaluate and accept your change.

Do this enough times, get along well with others and eventually some committer will probably nominate you as a committer, then you'll be able to commit your changes directly to SVN instead of submitting via PATCH.
