Sarah, why doesn't Chris send an email out to the community, if he's interested in our contributions? We are just an email away.

The first step would be to have a discussion, and gather people. That's what I've suggested, to have a call and see who's interested at all. Without a plan, people are just going to add a few contributions from time to time, but where's the general strategy? Who's going to do QA for these changes? What should the focus be? Add runtime specific features? Fix bugs? All of that would need to be discussed, and without project responsibilities, there's not much going to happen.
