[dna-dev] Contributing to Jboss DNA: where to start?

Hello all, My name ist Emeric Kwemou and I am actually working as Software Developer in Karlsruhe (Germany). I was looking for JCR implementations and discovered your current work and would like to thank you for this great concept (connectors and sequencers) and architecture. It is of my interrest to contribute to the success of this project. I read the 'getting started' guide and part of the Reference Guide (R0.5). For the beginning i can spend up to 8 hour per week for the project and may be more in the future. I would like to start by contibuting to the 'getting started' guide so i also can learn more about Jboss DNA. My proposition is to start by programming a repository based on an apache derby database and accessed using a JDBC connector, and then a JPA connector. Please let me know if this is the rigth way to start or propose me something else. Concerning my background, i have 3 years experience programming server side applications using J2EE. I also have a (old) blog where i may talk about my work on Jboss DNA (http://weblogs.java.net/blog/emeric/). Please just intoduce me to your team: what do i need? what are the common errors? coding guideline/convention/developper tools? subversion user loggin? How do you communicate? Who assign the tasks? Etc...
