Apache Hop (incubating)

The Hop Orchestration Platform aims to facilitate all aspects of data and metadata orchestration.

Trying Apache Hop

Hop is work in progress. After building, the UI can be started, but a lot of things may be broken.

There are various things you can do to help Hop moving forward as fast as possible:

• log bugs, request features in the Hop JIRA
• asking questions to the mailing list or mattermost
• help with documentation (lot of opportunities)
• help fixing some sonar issues

Check our Contribution Guide and the Hop website for more information on how to contribute.
