I second this! Perhaps (I know it's very difficult to organize synchronous time for a globally-distributed group but perhaps) we could try to organize a boot camp meeting on-line? In other words, those people who (like Andrew and myself) would be willing to contribute as part of a larger effort could get some virtual time with one or more committers/PMC members to take an in-depth tour of the system from the developer point of view and hear about the outstanding architectural issues, maybe start to figure out points of contribution. I realize this would make a lot of demands on the committers involved, but it might be a way to inject some fuel into the effort. Just an idea... --- A.
