How to subscribe to a mailing list

To post messages, subscribe first by:

1. Sending an email to listname-subscribe@kie.apache.org with listname replaced accordingly.
2. Replying to the confirmation email you'll receive, keeping the subject line intact.
3. You'll then get a welcome email, and the subscription succeeds.

When discussing code snippets in emails, ensure:

• You do not link to files in external services, as such files can change, get deleted or the link might break and thus make an archived email thread useless.
• You paste text instead of screenshots of text.
• You keep formatting when pasting code in order to keep the code readable.
• There are enough import statements to avoid ambiguities.

Issue tracker

We use GitHub Issues to track all issues.

You need to have a GitHub account in order to create issues. If you don't have a GitHub account, you can post an email to dev@kie.apache.org.

Bug reports

To report a bug:

• Verify that the bug does in fact exist.
• Search the issue tracker to verify there is no existing issue reporting the bug you've found.
• Create a bug report on issue tracker.
• If possible, dive into the source code of kie, and submit a patch for the bug you reported, this helps ensure the bug will be fixed quickly.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Apache KIE is a project of the Apache Software Foundation and follows the ASF vulnerability handling process.

To report a new vulnerability you have discovered please follow the ASF vulnerability reporting process, which explains how to send us details privately.

Enhancement

Enhancements or new feature proposals are also welcome. The more concrete and rationale the proposal is, the greater the chance it will be incorporated into future releases.
