On Volunteering

If you want to volunteer and help with developing Log4PHP, you are highly encouraged to read Apache getting involved . If you have questions on that document, we might be able to answer them on the developers mailinglist.

Craig R. McClanahan posted an interesting mail to the Apache Commons mailinglist. I modified the post to fit for Log4PHP:

The best way to contribute is to identify for yourself things that you think are broken, or could be improved, and then propose a patch. A couple of ways to identify possible candidates:

  • Have you used an API, and wished it would do something a little more? or a little different? In open source circles, people often get involved initially by "scratching your own itch" as the saying goes.
  • Have you called up the bug reports for the log4php project, and seen any bugs that you can create a patch for?
  • Have you checked your favorite package's roadmap file or todo files for things that have already been thought about, but just are not done yet?
