I'm pretty good with the HTML/CSS stuff -- pretty much cut my teeth in this industry doing lots of web design/publishing. Definitely willing to help.
CI -- there are three problems we need to look at: a) Project being setup for CI. This means that you can literally check out and build. VS 2010 branch looks like it is moving that direction. NUnit is easy to include but we'll have to figure out a way to move off of SharpZipLib if we want that integration. b) Basic CI/packaging : Jenkins/Hudson can likely handle this -- we are just building a class library with zero dependencies, a test suite with a few dependencies. Not sure how the contrib stuff plays into this -- could present some challenges, but really a matter of breadth over depth as nothing is horribly complex. Or at least not as complex as getting a modern web application with lots of tentacles working in a hands-off CI-only environment. c) Doing fancy automated imports and conversion of the java stuff to Lucene -- if this ever becomes a reality, this is where we might need our own setup. Or at least our own build agent we can do stuff like install eclipse and any supporting bits sharpen could need.
