Hi George,

Welcome to OpenJDK!

The Bug database is still currently restricted (basically to avoid the
flood from the millions of Java developers), but can you at least see the
issues listed there?.  To get full access to the bug system you need to be
an Author (http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#author).  You can work your way
up to being an Author (http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#contributor) by
submitting patches (http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/).

The Adoption group can definitely help guide you through that process (it's
a little tricky the first time)!


Cheers,
Martijn
