Liferay has taken numerous steps to make participating in the development of Liferay Portal easier to understand.
According to Liferay, there was mixed reactions to the new “continuous feedback” approach that was set to replace the Beta Program. There were concerns that it would be hard to track changes and respond to them, which sparked Liferay to launch a brand new set of “continuous feedback” pages that aggregate information about development. These include: understanding the release process, tracking stable releases and tracking development releases.
Liferay also added new resources for learning all the information you need to consider when contributing code to the platform. This will help developers get started with fixing bugs, improving functionality and building new features.
Along with these changes, Liferay launched a new Participate page to help the community understand how they can be part of the development of Liferay Portal beyond contributing code.
