Which project(s) you might want to work with should depend more on
what your own personal interests are than on "needs resources".  One
of the nice things about open source projects, though, is that there
is no upper limit on how many people can participate, and also no end
to the potential improvements and bugfixes that could be worked on.
You can basically assume that all projects will always need resources
:-).

As to how to go about this with Apache projects, I would suggest
starting with some reading on the Apache "getting involved" page:

  http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html

which has links to more information about the various ways to
contribute, starting from just using a product and giving feedback all
the way through becoming a committer that gets to help decide the
future direction of that project.  Just be aware that, if committer is
what you want to become, it can take a while -- but the more active
you are in the earlier stages, in general, the less time it will take.

I've got a better idea ... let's not play the game (any more) at all.

The decision was made (and I, as an Apache member, consider it to be
in *my* best interest, as well as in the best interest of the ASF). 
It's done.  It's over.  It's now an off topic conversation for this
list.

If you guys had put the same amount of energy into your software that
you put into your arguments, the world really would have been a better
place as a result of your efforts.

This is what i was intending to say. Not necessarily because of
my use of the apache.org address, but because of spam via address
harvesting and spoofing.
   

It's just not that hard to figure out why and how.  Go to Google and type
in your email address and see what comes up.  In the case of
[EMAIL PROTECTED], 149 separate references come up.  In Antonio's case,
there are 15 hits to his name.  The top hits in both cases come from
marc.theaimsgroup.com.  So long as the From: line in email mailing
lists has a valid email address, there will be spam sent to that address.
 

Sounds like a *contest* to me!  :-)  Can anyone (besides Stefano, who's 
in a class by himself :-) beat my 1,540 references for 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?  And yes, I get to deal with several hundred 
spams per day on this address, above and beyond the spam I get because 
I'm moderating a couple of Apache mailing lists.

One thing that users may not be aware of is that qmail allows them to use
variants of their addresses - basically they can extend
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Mail to that
address would be handled with a .qmail-anything file in your home dir on
minotaur.  You could decide to bitbucket that easily, if you were using
e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
something that clearly indicated the idea that it should be stripped out.
 

That's a pretty clever idea.  Unfortunately, it doesn't help if you 
actually respond to questions on our mailing lists, and therefore gets 
archived in the "collected addresses" lists of individual user mailboxes 
(which is where the virii get it).

Beyond that, I don't think obfuscation would do anything at all to help; 
my experience with throwaway addresses tells me that the address 
collecting robot that can't read  has been 
retired for a long time.
