True, since I've joined the list I try to give it some sort of priority. But 
Real Life has to come first.

As far as I seen, only Ping C has been active on the list lately, and he seems 
to be a bit busy on and off. Please be patient.

Mmm... Ping C is the leader.. When needed, support for new tablet models and 
linux kernel versions are added. Recently he did a larger reorganization of 
the source as well.
But, I can admit that it feels that the project is in a kind of maintenance 
mode at the moment.

Sven, the support for Wacom tablets is pretty good in Linux. But if you ask 
me, getting a few developers from Wacom (preferably used to linux and, most 
important, willing) to join the list which are officially allowed to use an 
hour or two of working time each week would be a boon.
What could they help with?
* Testing and help out users with problems.
* Discuss ideas and solutions
* Help out identifying bugs and make patches
* Go through the Tracker and help out where possible

Official support for Linux on their web would be a natural step if their 
people were involved in the community, imho.


Feel free to add to the list in if anybody have some other ideas how the help 
could be used.
