3) And to your final points, yep, I would be only interested in contributing to
the docs (and happily) but not code. I truly am just a user of Tomcat--and
other Java app servers. Though I've helped people troubleshoot issues with them
for 10+ years, I've not written a line of production Java code since before
then, so I won't be nearly as helpful with that!
Sounds like we could create a sub-group with just the two of us.
My own speciality area is more in the Apache/mod_perl/perl realm, full-text search engines
and electronic document processing.. and documentation.
I only ended up on this project and list, because I needed tomcat occasionally in my line
of work, and I really liked the spirit and quality of this tomcat user's list (and it's
very low level of noise). So I got hooked.
Contributing Java code to tomcat is certainly beyond my capacity, so I try to be useful by
cherry-picking some slightly out-of-topic questions on this list, and in that way trying
to free some time for the real java/tomcat specialists here, for them to deal with more
pointy issues. But this must have been recognised as a useful contribution, since I was
made a committer some time ago, and I haven't been fired yet.
All this to say that there are many ways to contribute usefully, and not only
in code.
And thus, welcome to the team.
