And it's not just up to commercial partners!  Consider this a call to
arms to adopters of Matterhorn to get involved not only in the QA but
in the development efforts!

By getting involved as a developer your team grows and:
 - develops contacts in the project that are invaluable for local
   support issues
 - learns best practices for production deployment, and better
   understands what the product can and cannot do
 - understands the system from an architectural perspective which gives
   insight into better development of integration
 - gains skills in the environment that matterhorn runs in

Developers who have commit access to the Matterhorn codebase have
agreed to give back to the community in the form of mentoring,
advising, and giving code reviews.  And there are ways to contribute
for every skill level and background; from non-coding to expert coder,
from interface designer or pedagogical expert to software developer.

So, please introduce yourself on the development list
([email protected]) and start asking for ways to
contribute.  We're not only open source, but an open community!
