Contributing
OpenXML4J has not yet been released, so to make it faster and better and to bring to the community a project of quality we need your support and your contribution !
To maintain an implementation and a code of quality, it’s easily understandable that we can’t allow anyone to join the core developer team and to be able to modify the source repository. To prevent such a situation, each contributor have to fulfill several trivial rules:
Admission:
- Strong involvement and free time to spare your time to the project,
- To be active in the community in the last few month (or less depending on tha amount and the quality of contributions),
- Fill all required skills needed to accomplish defined tasks
In addition to these obvious criteria and in order for the team to continue to work in a harmonious environment, we try to choose only people that would not break the pleasant work atmosphere. To prevent a future contributor to deteriorate the way we interact each other, the core developer team only choose people who are serious, enjoyable and have a compatible mood with the team.
A project development needs of course developers, but it is not by far the only category of people we need! Here is a summary of the different profiles we’re looking for:
Roles:
- User : OpenXML4J users who provides great feedbacks in the available trackers
- Hacker (not cracker :p) : defined as an advanced user as well as a good developer who is capable of fixing open bugs and providing enhancements to the core developers team.
- Developer : developer who helps the core development team to build the API and other subprojects
You're motivated and you want to be part the OpenXML4J project, get involved! Contact us at getinvolved@openxml4j.org
