    +### JIRA
    +
    +Apache JIRA is used for issue tracking. If you do not already have an Apache JIRA account, sign up [here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/). Note that the user name should have no white spaces or other special characters that complicate auto-completion within JIRA comments etc. 
    +
    +Please use a single JIRA account only (don't create multiple with different email addresses) to retain the issue history. Please use a permanent email address, for an existing account it can be changed in the profile. If you absolutely have to change your user name, contact INFRA.
    +
    +Apex has 2 JIRA projects:
    +
    +1. [APEXCORE](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE/) for [apex-core](https://github.com/apache/apex-core) and [apex-site](https://github.com/apache/apex-site)
    +2. [APEXMALHAR](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXMALHAR/) for [apex-malhar](https://github.com/apache/apex-malhar)
    +
    +Before working on changes for any of the repositories, please locate an existing JIRA ticket or submit a new one. In order to assign an issue to yourself, you need to be listed as contributor in the JIRA project. PMC members have access to add new contributors, please request to be added through a comment on the candidate ticket.
    +
    +### Github and git
    +
    +We use GitHub’s pull request functionality to review proposed code changes. If you do not already have a personal GitHub account, sign up [here](https://github.com/join). We recommend that you use the same email address and first/lastname for emails, git and JIRA so that contributions can be better tracked and notifications correlated. It is also recommended that you use an email address that is valid permanently (for example the @apache.org address, if you have one). Please also see:

    In sentence "for example ....." Only committers will apache email address. That's not encouraging IMO... Rather give example as "@gmail.com"... gmail.com will most likely be personal id and not company address.. That's added advantage. :)
