How can I help?

Hi,

I'm very interested in this project and I'd like to contribute. Do you guys have a list of features/issue that I can take a look?

Thanks,
Lucas

Hi, Lucas. I'm Alexey, author of Stem. I'm so glad that someone wants to help. We need it. Stem is in alpha stage now, a lot of bugs, a lot of incomplete functionality, and we'll need help, of course. It will be the longest journey. First, register in our JIRA tracker, the link can be found here http://stemstorage.org

We work on tickets using JIRA, we'r not going to use GitHub issues.

Each feature is produced through branch.

And of course you should understand the architecture, the main idea of Stem. I,m working on presentation describes design of storage, what problems it solves, etc. so, please stay here. But I think I have one ticket for you. Register on tracker!

If you have any questions, feel free! And thanks for help!

For sure, I'll work on it tomorrow.

Right now I'm having some issues to run the tests in the project.
I'm getting a lot of

Running org.stem.AllocatorTest
Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 3, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.466 sec <<< FAILURE!
testSize(org.stem.AllocatorTest)  Time elapsed: 0.01 sec  <<< ERROR!

And

testAllocateDirectoryMaxSize(org.stem.AllocatorTest)  Time elapsed: 0 sec  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.stem.db.StorageNodeDescriptor

Any idea? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'm just running mvn test
