RE: [birt-report-engine-dev] Contributing to BIRT

1) I can't answer this one!

2) Most of the developers who contribute actively to BIRT work in
Shanghai and they all had a vacation last week. That's why you saw no
activity. The most active list is the birt-dev list.

3) The birt-dev list gets the daily build status reports.

Subject: [birt-report-engine-dev] Contributing to BIRT

Hi, I am interested in contributing to the BIRT project.  I have read
through the BIRT's Wiki and FAQ site and I feel that there seems to be
some essential information missing for new comers.  
For example:

1) The wiki explains how to build BIRT from CVS with one of its version,
but what about the testing process?  If one makes a change to BIRT
internal, what test suite do one run in order to validate no regression
is introduced in the BIRT designer, report engine, etc.?  Some
instructions
here would be very helpful.         

2) When I browse through birt-report-engine-dev or birt-dev mail list, I
cannot seem to find open discussions regarding BIRT's internals, design
decisions, etc.  The list is not as active as I would expect for a dev
list.  Is there another channel where this is communicated?  If so,
please direct me to the correct channel.

3) Is there a daily build/test report on the status of the trunk build?



Regards,
Yip Ng
