From adam.farley at uk.ibm.com Tue Aug 22 08:54:51 2017 From: adam.farley at uk.ibm.com (Adam Farley8) Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2017 09:54:51 +0100 Subject: [Bug Proposal] - Three potential bugs in the "contribute" page Message-ID: Hi All, While going through the "contribute" page (for unambiguity: http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/), I noticed three potential bugs. I searched the bug system for that URL, and found no bugs that covered these issues. Please review and comment. Thanks :) Bug 1) I see the instructions focus on Java 9 and Java 8 (update). However I have been told that the community's current focus is on Java 10. Solution 1) Update the contribution page to refer to Java 10 and 9(u?), and also 8u if that's still going. Bug 2) The link to the Java 9 build instructions appears to be broken (See the start of section 3). Solution 2) I advise changing this link to hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/raw-file/tip/common/doc/building.html Note: This does not apply to the Java 8 build instructions, as that link works. Bug 3) The page advises that people use email attachments to send files via the mailing lists, despite people saying the lists strip out attachments. (See just before the three bullet points in section three). Example: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-April/047091.html Solution 3) Replace "attachments" with a bit that advises people to either send the files directly to the sponsor, or put short diffs into the email directly. Example: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-April/047092.html Thank you all for your time. :) Best Regards Adam Farley Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
