Re: [Junit-devel] Becoming a Contributor

[David S. <sa...@mi...>]

Dan,

I'm not sure you ever received a response to your kind offer.  Right 
now, development is slow, as the current committers are swamped with 
other commitments (I may just be speaking for myself, however).  The 
best way to start contributing is to find a bug that you can submit a 
small patch for--that minimizes the risk of spending a lot of time 
developing to the wrong requirements, and gives you a taste of the 
code.  Also, stay active on this list--that way, when we get our heads 
above water, we'll remember to keep in touch.

On another note, there is a project at junitext.org that claims to 
include a GUI runner--you may want to check into that.  Good luck,

    David Saff
