I have never contributed to an open source project before (all development has occurred in the private sector), but am interested in doing so.  I'm interested in expanding the FSShell package to add more Unix/POSSIX file behavior emulating commands.  How would/could I go about doing this?  Also, are there other areas that need work and how do I find that and start contributing?

Thank you.

Nathan

Hey Nathan,

You should take a look at the "How To Contribute" wiki page here:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute

Check out the Apache JIRA instance for those issues that have already been
opened for ideas on what to work on:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP
