Setup the Development environment

Please follow the Bulid Guide to setup your development environment. Please connect to CVS as "anonymous" user and check-out the "jmanage" module.

Join the project

• If you have not setup a SourceForge account, please do it here.
• Take a look at Open and Unassigned feature requests here. Please go through them and pick up the one that interests you.
• Send an email to team@jmanage.org with your SourceForge username and the feature request that you are interested in. Please also indicate the expected completion time for the feature request, to help with the release planning.
• We will add you to the project and we will assign the feature request to you.
• Please join the jmanage-team mailing list here. You will be able to do this, only after you have been added to the project.
• After implementing the feature request, please submit the code changes to team@jmanage.org. The code changes will be reviewed and then applied to the CVS.
• After your first feature request has been incorporated and you are interested in continuing, we will provide you with the CVS access, so that you can directly check-in your changes into CVS.
