Can someone explain what are the differences between the 2_1_fcs and the
trunk branches?
I hear Noel talking about merging but I don't know what are the main
differences between the 2 branches.
As said before I'm patching various classes from the 2_1_fcs and I would
like to know I'm working on the right branch.

The ASF style is that contributor contribute code/issues following the
roadmap/tracker and then committer review this items and apply the code.
I see a lack of committer works. Probably you should make a call for new
committers on the dev list if current committers "don't care" about what
contributors do.

"volunteers are always welcome to help": how?
I'd really like to help but it seems there is a need for coordination and
committers.
