Hi Gary, Regarding the new contributors, may be we can propose them some small features that can be added or guide them to fix some issues that can easily be. This is a typical method I have noticed being used to get GSoC students to make them get used to the code base and get them up to speed.
Also I have talked with Thimal and he will also be able to make some time to contribute. So if you have anything in mind may be we should discuss it in the list. Furthermore I remember there was a discussion regarding Trello integration to BH inorder to get a kanban dashboad. So may be if anyone is interested it might be a interesting feature to start working on. Currently I'm working on updating the Trac version in a forked repository with the help of Ryan. So after the work is complete I will merge it into the trunk and start working on some new feature. Anyhow lets keep the discussions going on and keep the community active :) Thanks, Dammina.
