[Biojava-l] Possibility to contribute to biojava project

[Spencer Bliven]

Maciej,

I find it works best if you pick something you're interested in to contribute. If it's a big feature, you might want to open an issue on github to discuss whether it's suitable for biojava. You can also pick one of the open issues to start with. We're always very happy for contributions!

Hello Maciej,

I personally work on Biopython, but welcome all the same!

The mailing lists are still live, but low volume. Your should also check GitHub:

https://github.com/biojava/biojava/

Specifically, there are currently a couple of issues marked "Help Wanted",
and some marked "task" might be suitable depending on your Java skills?

Another suggestion is to work through the tutorial, and open issues on any
problems you find. Keeping a large set of documentation up to date is a big
job - but also your fresh eyes will see things like hidden assumptions that
the authors may miss. It will also help you getting familiar with the scope
of BioJava.

Good luck,

Peter

Hi Guys,

I am a Java developer with Biotechnology background from Poland. I transformed my career path about 3 years ago - from working in the lab to writing code. In the recent time I was thinking about joining some open-source project, in particular connected with my original education. I came across the biojava project and it seems very interesting. I would like to ask you if I can contribute somehow to the project and help with bug fixing, new feature development or anything else?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Maciej Smolarz
