11: == How can I contribute to the storage community?
12: * First, read the general OpenSolaris [[contribution instructions>>Main.participate]].
13: * Find out about all the [[current Storage projects>>Community Group project.WebHome]] and browse the list of [[new Storage project ideas>>http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OpenSolaris_Storage_Developer_Wish_List]]. If you have an idea for a project, add it to the list.
14: * Hang out one or more of the [[storage discussion groups>>Community Group storage.discussions]] depending on what you are interested in~-- the [[storage: discuss>>http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=94]] group is a good starting point. You can subscribe to any of the discussion groups and have message postings sent to your email address or set up an RSS feed.
15: == How do I fix a bug?
16: ==
17: 1. Find a bug that you want to fix. If you’re new to the Solaris code-base, we suggest you [[search for bugs>>http://bugs.opensolaris.org]] with the **oss-bite-size** keyword. To find out about specific bugs for a particular storage project, send out a request to the project’s discuss group.
18: 1. Send an email to **request dash sponsor at opensolaris dot org**. Note in the subject that the bug in question is a <Storage Project> bug.
19: 1. Work with your sponsor on the bug-fix process.
20: 1. Generate a codereview.

40: ==== 4a. If Approved, the Project Team Should:
41: * Wait for project page and discussion list to be created by the [[OpenSolaris Resource Administrator>>mailto:project-setup@opensolaris.org]] [[image:http://opgwiki.sfbay.sun.com/images/out.png]]
42: ** For the Storage Community, a core contributor will let you know the project is approved and will send a project creation request to the [[OpenSolaris Resource Administrator>>mailto:project-setup@opensolaris.org]] [[image:http://opgwiki.sfbay.sun.com/images/out.png]]
43: ** Once the project page is created, the core contributor will alert the project team
44: * Update the project page (while in hidden mode) and do the following once it is ready:
