This is a thread from Apache's community-dev list, so apologies to anyone who 
has already seen it, but it seems to me that Jena could summon up some tasks

I would be happy to mentor. I've had good experiences mentoring in Google's 
Summer of Code for other projects. If there are no objections and I can get one 
other volunteer I can try to submit an application.
