Hello Benjamin,

thanks for contacting us. Contributions are welcome to the Apache Ant =
project.

One way of contributing is to look at the bug database, in the case of =
Ant it is in Bugzilla and picking one or several entries and try to =
either evaluate/update existing patches or to create a solution =
including code, test cases and documentation changes.

You can also come up with your own suggestions of =
improvement/extension/=85

I am unfortunately these days not very active in Apache Ant, but the =
best contact points for Apache Ant are the distribution lists =
user@ant.apache.org and dev@ant.apache.org.

If you are interested I also recommend that you try to help with Apache =
Ivy which is also part of the Apache Ant project.

Best regards,

Antoine
