    How to Contribute

    -

    Anyone who wants to contribute source code, even in the form of -e-mailed bug fixes, -must have a signed contributor agreement [TODO link] on file. The -Java 3D -team regrets that we are unable to even look at submitted bug fixes -unless this author -has the -contributor agreement on file. This may seems harsh, but it is a policy -designed to protect the project from patent infringement and copyright -issues. We encourage all developers to download the agreement [TODO -link], sign it, and -fax it -to the number indicated [TODO link]. Then you are more than welcome to -send in fixes for your favorite bugs!
    -

    -

    We invite anyone to be a project observer. -As the community matures and contributors demonstrate their -familiarity -with the API internals they will be invited to join the project as a -developer with full CVS commit -privilege. The last thing we want is -lots of people hacking on the source in the central repository and -destabilizing the API, so we will be taking a cautious approach.
    -

    -

    The Java Community Process (JCP) also -has a significant impact on how people can -contribute to the project. Although the source of the API is available, -and we actively encourage the community to contribute to it's -development, the API itself (that is, the public and protected classes, -interfaces, methods, fields, and so forth in the javax.media.j3d -and javax.vecmath packages) are -controlled by the JCP and can not be freely modified. -Modifications to the API will be created within the Java 3D JSRs -by an Expert Group of JCP members. A call for experts will be -made once this process is launched. -

    Feedback and Discussion
    +

    +

    We have created two Java 3D mailing lists in the parent java3d project: announce@java3d.dev.java.net +and interest@java3d.dev.java.net. +Click +here to subscribe to either of these lists. The annouce list is a +low-volume moderated mailing list for announcing Java 3D-related +news +and information. The interest list is an open mailing list for +discussing all aspects of Java 3D, the reference implementation +for the +Java 3D core, vecmath, utilities, example programs, etc.

    +

    For those who prefer a forum to a mailing list, we have created the +Java 3D +forum, hosted as part of the JavaDesktop Community. Messages +posted on the forum are cross-posted to interest@java3d.dev.java.net +and vice-versa.
    +

    +

    Finally, each sub-project has its own cvs and issues mailing +lists. Click here to +subscribe to either of these lists. The cvs@j3d-core.dev.java.net +list is for automated CVS change messages and discussion of those +changes. The issues@j3d-core.dev.java.net +list is for automated issue tracking.
