Jim, Hi. If you're interested in doing some piece of work the best practice IMO is let people know about it. Communicate it to the mailing list, open Jira's or both. The web site would probably not have a lot in new ideas but the mailing list, wiki and even the Jira's may have something you could be interested in. Even getting your hands in fixing some bugs lets the community know you. The website has a lot of information to help in getting started too. I don't think priorities are particularly important, mostly find something you're interested in. As per dependencies, once again, state on the mailing list what you're looking at, give as much details as you can once you think you have an idea. People will start communicating with you if they think there are dependencies on what they're doing. Jim Lynch wrote: > I think this would be great.
