Unable to find bug tracker list

[B Prakash]

Hello,


 I am interested in contributing to ASF.  Though I have been thinking about 
it for a while I got the time only now.  I have been going through the site 
looking for bugs list as stated in the ASF 'Where do I start' page ie 101.html 
but I couldnt find it please help.  Following is the section in the page that 
points to bugs list.


"If you are trying to satisfy a specific technical problem then you already 
know what you want to work on, but if you are looking for something useful to 
do in order to participate in an ASF project then the projects issue/bug 
tracker is your friend (this will be linked from the projects home page or from 
its entry on the projects page linked above).

In the projects issue tracker you will find details of bugs and feature 
requests the project would like to work with, this should give you some 
inspiration about how you might be able to help the project community. If you 
are looking for a beginner level issue try searching JIRA for issues with the 
label "GSoC" or "mentor", these are issues the community feel are manageable 
for someone new to the ASF and their project. The community has also indicated 
that they are willing to help someone work on those issues through our 
mentoring 
program.

"


Regards,

Prakash

Prakash, you can find the bug tracker for each project by following links
in the projects directory (https://projects.apache.org/projects.html).

For example, if you were interested in the Hive project you could scroll
down the list of projects to find Apache Hive and follow this link:  Apache
Hive <https://projects.apache.org/project.html?hive>.  The project page has
a Development section that includes "Bug-tracking" which gives this link to
the Hive JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE.  The Summary page has a menu on
the left, and Issues
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:issues-panel>
is
the first item in the menu.

Other projects use Bugzilla instead of JIRA.  For example, see the Apache
Ant page <https://projects.apache.org/project.html?ant>.

You can also reach bug trackers from the individual project home pages,
which are easy to find with any search engine, but they may use different
names (Hive says "Issue Tracking" and Ant says "Bug Database") and the
links will be in different places on the home page, so I recommend using
the project list as described above.

Thank you for your interest in contributing.

Thanks again Lefty for the info.  I followed the links and got lot more 
information.  I am interested in few projects but wanted to know two more 
things;
1.  Can I contribute to a project if I just know the programming language well 
(Say Java), and not know much about the project (Say Cassandra)?
2.  I see that there are 4 mailing lists 'Users, Developers, Committers, client 
library'.  I subscribed to Developers list, I got a confirmation that my id has 
been subscribed, but haven't received any mail.  Is this the mailing list I 
need to watch if I want to start contributing?
Thanks and regards
Prakaskh.

Re: Unable to find bug tracker list

Thanks Yash, Lefty,

   Thanks very much, I have a lot of experience in Java EE and other 
opensources.  I have finished more than 25+ successful java EE enterprise 
production implementations.
1. I wanted to start contributing to ASF, I wouldn't mind the project 
(not for now) , and hence like the 'new comer' section suggested, I am looking 
at all the defects, GSOC and Mentor defects, but I haven't come across anything 
relevant.  Is it possible that any of you could share a potential 'defect' as 
an example, I will try to look for others on the similar lines?  
 2. Should I look for bugs with status 'New', or type as bug, 
implementation, new feature...   Is there any specific logic to this?
Regards,
Prakash.

Prakaskh (and Prashant), each project has a mailing list archive
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/>.  You can browse old messages
or check whether any new messages have arrived since you joined the list.
