You really want me to contribute?  Cause I will.

And due to my lack of education on the matter I will get all up in your 
way.   You want the community to help participate?  Get a list of simple 
moderate and hard jobs that are relatively high priority, and update the 
list weekly.   A "stickied" post on the announce forum would work.

Cause if there's something simple I can do, I'll do it.  I just don't 
know what I can do.
