-<s1 title="Getting involved">
- <p>
-There are many different levels where people can get involved. The
-development of FOP and the related plans and tasks are discussed on
-the dev mailing list. Users can help or get issues resolved by
-contributing information and examples to the developers.
-</p>
-
- <s2 title="Get familiar with the Fop related standards">
- <p>
-At the moment Fop is mainly a tool to render XSL:FO files to pdf.
-Therefore if you want to contribute to Fop you should become
-familiar with these standards. You can find links under
-<jump href="resources.html">Resources</jump>.
-</p>
- </s2>
- <s2 title="Fop's Design">
- <p>
-The design for FOP is specified under the
-<jump href="design/index.html">Design</jump> section.
- </p>
- <p>
-This is where the information on how FOP is developed and designed
-internally will be kept.
- </p>
- </s2>
-
- <s2 title="Subscribe to the fop developers list">
- <p>You can subscribe to fop-dev@xml.apache.org by sending an email
- to <jump href="mailto:fop-dev-subscribe@xml.apache.org">fop-dev-subscribe@xml.apache.org</jump></p>
- <p>Sending bug reports and feature requests to the list is a welcome and important contribution to
- developing Fop. </p>
- <p>Read also the <jump href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&amp;r=1&amp;w=2">archive</jump>
- of the discussion list fop-dev to get an idea of the issues being discussed. </p>
- </s2>
- <s2 title="Look at the developer's code using cvs">
- <p>Between releases the newest code can be accessed via cvs. To do this you need to install a cvs
- client on your computer, if it is not already there. An explanation how to connect to the
- Fop source repository can be found at <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/cvs.html">http://xml.apache.org/cvs.html</jump>.
- An introduction into cvs and the cvs manual can be found in the
- <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/library.html">reference library</jump>.</p>
- <p>All changes to the code repository are sent to a special mailing list. After a cvs commit the diffs are automatically sent to this list. You can subscribe
- to fop-cvs@xml.apache.org by sending an email to <jump href="mailto:fop-cvs-subscribe@xml.apache.org">
- fop-cvs-subscribe@xml.apache.org</jump>. If you want to contribute to the development of Fop you should subscribe,
- because it is important that you follow changes being made. </p>
- </s2>
- <s2 title="Contributing code, tests and documentation">
- <p>If you want to contribute code (p.e. a bugfix), a test or documentation (p.e. an additional example), please do the following: </p>
- <p>1) Make sure your code doesn't break the existing one and that Fop still compiles.</p>
- <p>2) Create a file which shows the differences to the existing code.</p>
- <p>3) Send this file as an <strong>Attachment</strong> to <jump href="mailto:fop-dev@xml.apache.org">fop-dev@xml.apache.org.</jump></p>
- <p>One of the committers will test your code and commit it to the code repository.</p>
- <p>If you have a test or useful bug test you should <jump href="testing.html">read this page</jump>.</p>
- <p>BTW: The Apache project knows different roles for contributors, namely 'users', 'developers', 'committers' and the 'Project
- Management Committee' (An explanation of these roles can be found <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/roles.html">here</jump>).</p>
- </s2>
-
- <s2 title="Coding Conventions">
- <p>As mentioned in <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/source.html">Apache XML Project Guidelines</jump>,
- <em>all Java Language source code in the repository must be written in conformance to the
- <jump href="http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html">Code Conventions
- for the Java Programming Language</jump> as published by Sun</em>. Additionally we agreed on 4
- spaces (no tabs) for indenting.</p>
- <p>If you don't like those conventions, just use your own standards while developing and reformat the source before
- committing with a tool like <jump href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/">astyle</jump> (Artistic Style).
