Assignments are in the Jira for when it is used by a company in order to "assign" developers tasks, since we are an open source project with volunteers it feels a bit mean to assign tasks to volunteers. Jira assignments are used by committers to "grab" an issue so others know they are working on it. A few volunteers are keen and have set themselves up as "module maintainers" and are automatically assigned tasks for a component.
So please just make a comment on the issue and indicate you are working on it :) You will have a bit of a learning curve with maven, it is useful when working on such a large project. By the same token git is useful for a development team such as ours that is split across many different timezones and organizations. The workflow for gtihub is to: 1. Sign up for GitHub and make a "fork" of the repository 2. Clone your fork to the local machine 3. Create a branch to work on your fix 4. When you have your fix working publish the branch on github 5. From GitHub navigate to your branch and click the button for a "pull request". When making the pull request you can provide a link in the description (you can see many examples <https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pulls> that do this) For details see the github tutorials, and our developers guide. Welcome to the project, look forward to working with you. -- Jody Garnett On 5 October 2015 at 09:07, Walter Stovall <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to make a fix for https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-5239 > (Session Startup SQL on a Oracle data store will now work). > > > > I’m new to working with the geoserver source code.
