Hi Bill, and welcome to Struts ...
There is a TODO list included in the documentation app, which is somewhat
out of date, but still an interesting base for new development. Another
way for people to get involved would be to look at the outstanding bug
reports, investigate and fix them, and propose patches. You can find the
list at:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/
under product category "Struts".
One important thing to review when looking at bug reports is whether the
bug occurs in the Struts 1.0 final release, or in the current nightly
builds. The source code has (of course) evolved since 1.0, so you need to
make sure you're patching against the correct version.
With CVS, it's pretty easy to keep both source trees checked out in
separate directories. If you're not familiar with CVS, check the Jakarta
web site for the tools you need (http://jakarta.apache.org) and at sites
like <www.cvshome.org> for general CVS documentation.
