Contributing

Here are some ways for you to get involved in the community:

• Get involved with the Spring community on the Spring Community Forums. Please help out on the forum by responding to questions and joining the debate.
• Create JIRA tickets for bugs and new features and comment and vote on the ones that you are interested in.
  Github is for social coding: if you want to write code, we encourage contributions through pull requests from forks of this repository. If you want to contribute code this way, please reference a JIRA tracker ticket covering the specific issue you are addressing. Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the contributor's agreement. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
