I would suggest you make your changes and then post a patch to
reviews.apache.org so we can get a better feel for you changes.  There
is some good documentation on the Community Overiview [1] page on the
Shindig site that might help you.  If you can't find an answer there
don't be afraid to shoot the dev list an email.
