-Due to severe attrition this past year, we now just barely have enough |
| 56 |
-manpower to maintain our 350+ packages. This leaves hardly any leftover |
| 57 |
-time and energy to extend our offering into new areas, such as natively |
| 58 |

-Eclipse plugins, or creation of a stable and complete J2EE |

-development platform. |
| 61 |
+ We are always looking for more help. We barely have enough |
| 62 |
+ manpower to maintain our 350+ packages. Not to mention packages that |
| 63 |
+ require a dedicated maintainer like Eclipse, Netbeans, Tomcat, Resin, |
| 64 |
+ and several others that are no longer in true for this very reason. |
| 65 |
+ Specifically JBoss and Jetty. Others like Glassfish, Jasper Reports, |
| 66 |
+ OpenJDK/IcedTea, etc. |

|

+<p> |
| 70 |
+ On top of all that we need time and energy to extend our offering into new |
| 71 |
+ areas. Such as natively compiled Java packages using gcj, providing an all |
| 72 |
+ open source from source Java vm, developing a framework for packaging |
| 73 |
+ webapps, packaging popular webapps themselves, or creation of a stable and |
| 74 |
+ complete J2EE development platform. |

| 78 |
+ There are lots of areas we are in need. We are always seeking new team |
| 79 |
+ members, be it contributors or developers. All efforts are voluntary. |
| 80 |
+ We do not assign tasks or do much deligation of duties. Pretty much |
| 81 |
+ jump in and start helping out is our motto. |
