Note

This page still needs work - http://forrest.apache.org/committed.htmlImage Removed is a more correct description of how things work.

Anyone can contribute to Apache Flex: Translation, Design, Documentation, Concepts, Code - whatever you think matters. Even writing to the mailing-list is considered contributing. Contributors that are entrusted to change and decide things on the project are called commiter.

You have just to take two - small - hurdles to become a commiter:

1) Contribute something

First: you need to contribute to be entrusted. Again: you can contribute whatever you like! Use the mailing-list or Jira to pass your contribution to the Flex community.

2) Get voted in

The second step is to be voted in by the team. The team is expected to be scouting for passionate people all the time. If you feel overlooked: Don't feel shy to ask for being voted in.
