It is easy to become a part of the Project!
This page still needs work - http://forrest.apache.org/committed.html
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. Persons that can change things are called commiter.
You have just to take two - small - hurdles to become a commiter:
1) Contribute something
First: you need to contribute something. 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
To become a commiter you need to be voted in by the team. The team is expected to be scouting for people with passion all the time. If you feel overlooked: Don't feel shy to ask for becoming a commiter.
Don't hesitate - we are waiting for your contribution.
