Hi Fausto,
Thanks for coming forward.
You can submit bugs, patches, feature requests, etc. on the "trackers" page:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5757
Items submitted to the tracker system have been ignored for a while now, and that is one of the things we're trying to change.
Absolutely, 100%. Please note that the trackers may continue to be ignored for a little while longer. As admin, we're learning about all of the features that SourceForge makes available to projects. And we're also trying to have discussions on the dynapi-admin list (open to all to subscribe, and open to subscribers for posting, at the very least during the reorganization process). We need to assess the state of the website and other adimistrative tasks, and kind of develop some operating procedures. So we need to research, identify, discuss, make decisions and prioritize what needs to be done on a project-wide scope, not just the code.
If you're interested and you persist in helping, then CVS access can be granted.
Also, we need to identify people's specific area(s) of interest and identify people who will make a committment to make themselves available to be assigned tasks, wether we post a task and a member volunteers, or we ask for members to volunteer even if it's not in their primary area of interest. Or if you just want to test code and submit patches, that is great too. But someone still needs to apply the patch to their local copy, review and commit them to CVS too. If you go through all the trouble of identifying and fixing a bug, that's only a little more work to test it thoroughly, maybe ask others, and commit to the CVS tree. It's less work than to have someone like me who might be unfamiliar with that part of the code, or the problem, try to understand what is broke, apply the patch, re-test it, and then commit it. That makes double work for the same result, so it takes twice as long. There's a lot of work to be done and I know I can't do it all by myself which is why I'd want members I can count on who are receptive to the idea of being assigned tasks of any type, so long as they agree. There's nobody forcing anything or assigning tasks without getting an OK from the member. But if you're a member, then at the very least expect to be asked to do something like check the trackers regularly, check bug reports and test patches and submit code in the areas in which you have expressed interest.
Check the dynapi-admin mailing list archives, read the posts, and if you have ideas on those topics, by all means subscribe and speak up. Personally, I may have some good ideas, I may have some bad ideas, I can't know unless we have discussions with contributors, wether they are other admin, members, developers, or users. Basically it's up to everyone to choose their level of involvement.

Hello guys,
I've been using DynAPI for about 1 year now and I am very happy to see this
project is again moving along. Can I be of some help in development?
I changed many places in DynAPI to make it work and I am also good with
javaScript and Java.
Any directions would be wonderfull.
Fausto.
