Getting Involved
Mailing Lists
The primary method of discussion is on the Tapestry users mailing list: users@tapestry.apache.org. You can subscribe by sending e-mail to users-subscribe@tapestry.apache.org. This is the appropriate mailing list to learn more about Tapestry, to request help, and to socialize.
The second mailing list is dev@tapestry.apache.org. You can subscribe to this list by sending e-mail to dev-subscribe@tapestry.apache.org (mailto: dev-subscribe@tapestry.apache.org). This list is used by the Tapestry PMC and committers to run votes, discuss issues and fixes, and plan the future of Tapestry. Please don't use this mailing list to ask for support.
Mailing list archives are available at http://tapestry.markmail.org/.
Reporting Problems / Getting Support
Tapestry issues are tracked in the Apache JIRA.
Unless your problem is clear as day, it's a good idea to discuss it on the Tapestry Users mailing list first, before adding an issue. At the same time, its generally unlikely that a bug will be fixed unless a JIRA Issue is created.
Eric Raymond has a detailed guide to asking questions the right way. If you are not getting a response to your problem, its likely because you aren't asking it the right way.
Just saying something is "broken" or "failed" is not enough. How did it fail? Did it do the wrong thing? Throw an exception? Not respond in any way? What exactly did you expect to happen? All of this information should be made available when looking for help, plus context on the general problem you were trying to solve in the first place (there may be a better solution entirely). Read Eric Raymond's guide ... its fun and informative.
Other Resources
There is an active flow of questions and answers about Tapestry at Stack Overflow.
Becoming a Contributor
The best way to become a contributor is to become active on the mailing list; Tapestry is known to have an active and helpful community on the mailing list, and the more mentors we can add, the better.
If you want to help out with documentation, you must sign an Apache Contributor License Agreement, at which point we can grant write access to the Confluence Wiki (where official documentation is created).
Providing patches (with tests!) is another way to become a contributor.
Becoming a Committer
Active contributors may be asked to become full committers, with write access to the source code. Generally, contributors who have been consistently active and helpful for three to six months are eligible for committer access. If you think you are in that category, don't be shy about contacting members of the Tapestry PMC (Project Management Committee).
