[wildfly-dev] GSoc aspirant wishing to seek valuable guide regarding JBoss AS 7(wildfly) quickstarts project.

[Giriraj Sharma]

Hii,I am Giriraj Sharma, a dedicated GSoc'14 aspirant(3 years' experience
in JavaSE+1.5 year's experience in JavaEE) from Dept. of Computer Science,
National Institute of Technology, HP, India, interested in making valuable
contribution to the project* JBoss AS Quickstarts  : JBoss AS
management,services and modules*(
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/GSOC14Ideas?_sscc=t<https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-52233?_sscc=t>)
listed in JBoss GSoc 2014 ideas Page.



I was initially interested in contributing quickstarts for hibernate ORM
with JBoss AS. It was mentioned as a proposed project on the ideas page. I
forked *jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts* repository from github a few
weeks back and I read the guide to contributing to a quickstart (
http://www.jboss.org/jdf/quickstarts/get-involved/).* I have been actively
committing on git repository
(https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts
<https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts>) since past
15-20 days. One of my commit has been merged  and my several other(11)
commits are under code review.* But,I recently came to know that hibernate
quickstarts have been removed form GSoc 2014 JBoss project ideas page.The
mentors told me that it was listed in GSoc 2014 ideas page because it was
copy-pasted from GSoc 2013 ideas page but is not a part of GSoc 2014
ideas.This project is removed in the new modified list of GSoc 2014 ideas.



The project proposal *JBoss AS Quickstarts  : JBoss AS management,services
and modules *is still a part of *GSoc 2014 JBoss ideas* Page.I am really
enthusiastic about contributing quickstarts for JBoss AS as it will let me
help in understanding the architecture and scripting down the server. I am
currently reading through the documentation of JBoss AS *Admin Guide*
*https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Documentation
<https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Documentation>. *I have also
forked up the wildfly/wildfly repository (wildfly/wildfly ·
GitHub<https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly>)
and read contribution guide (Hacking on
AS7<https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15596>
).

Basically, I am a newbie but, an application developer for J2EE
technologies. I have used JBoss AS 7 for my past projects but here I shall
be dealing with JBoss AS itself.* I wish to have a bit of your guidance so
as how to start up working upon JBoss AS quickstarts and is the project
proposal about working on quickstarts(demo applications) or is it about
actually writing code/patches for JBoss AS. Please give me brief details
about how I may start up contributing for this project proposal.*
