Well, here are some general areas that can use more hands ...

(1) Updating and categorizing bug reports

(2) Share directory cleanup: write unit tests and documentation

(3) Generate ideas for the branch of math / science / engineering
that you're familiar with.

As a general observation, "What do you guys think about X ?"
doesn't usually progress very fast or very far.
"I want to do X and here's my plan to do it" gets more attention,
and "I've done X and here it is" gets even more. Of course you take
a risk that nobody will want what you've done, but all the same
there is a greater chance of it actually getting committed to cvs.
Probably as a general strategy it is a good idea to try all three
kinds of messages. Just my $0.02.

Thanks for your interest in Maxima,
