>As you know, a number of people expressed interest on releasing a new dot

>and users.

>Help is needed in the following areas:
>
>1. Bug fixes. At least 3 commiters will volunteer to integrate the patches
>that are sent and do fixes them-self.
>
>2. Bug reports/verification: we have a large number of bug reports,
>most of them against previous versions of tomcat. We need people to look
>at the bugs, try to reproduce them in the proposed 3.3, try to fix
>them. If possible, we need a simple reproduction code that can be added to
>the regression suite.
>
>3. Code review/Documentation: The code is not perfect, but it should do
>its job. Reading the tomcat.core and making sure it's ok is essential.
>
>4. Testing/Building/mod_jk: If you use tomcat with a web server, we need
>help making sure it works fine and eventually getting a compiled version
>of mod_jk for your platform ( if you use a "special" OS or configuration ).
>
>5. Testing your application with tomcat :-) ( this is probably a better
>and more important test than our regression )
>
>6. Jasper: making sure the bugs are integrated and the interceptor works
>as expected, instead of just being faster.
>
>7. User support/documentation: If you managed to get tomcat3 working, you
>may be able to help others and reduce the load on commiters.
>
>
>If you are a user of tomcat 3.2 or embed tomcat 3.2 in your applications,
>this is a chance to turn into a contributor and then commiter.
>
>The help can range from downloading a milestone and running the provided
>regression tests on your platform, writing simple fixes for the problems
>that bother you, just looking at the source code and sending feedback or
>small documentation, testing you favorite web application and making sure
>it'll still work fine.
>
>Based on the response I get on this mail during the next few days I'll
>decide if I go ahead and make the proposal.

>This is not an "official" vote - just a show of hands to help the

>expect ( and maybe change their vote :-).
