Hi Mark, Some of the Jira issues already have patches attached, just not reviewed or merged (some are a couple years old).
As for the documentation/site, it looks like I could potentially submit patches to the site/trunk of the project (again, the documentation doesn't exist, so I'm not sure where exactly the site is, that's just what I found from the svn repo), but should I put in documentation for newcomers when I'm kinda a newcomer myself?
