exactly, this is what we are trying to do (apart from doing our daily 
jobs to get a living), unfortunately the original SVN repository 
structure proved to be not very scalable and we decided to make the 
overall contribution process much more simple, but it needs time and 
know how, and I think the people who do have know how to help and are 
interested are already involved...

yep, agree, detailed TODO list is great but requires time, as I said 
many times, we have such a list at http://blueprints.launchpad.net/nexenta

I think we will ask for help as soon as there will be place to help, 
right now we need to setup a machine, configure builders and do such 
other tasks that simply can't be distributed that easily. I hope we all 
know the rule "bringing more people to the late software project will 
not make it run faster" :-)
