This is an open source collaborative project and we welcome your involvement. Through open source collaborative innovation we can make great technology.
There are many ways in which you can get involved with the project, we try to hold most of our discussions whether troubleshooting or exploring the next line of development on the forums here:

Development plans
We have started to create a series of pages that outline short term development plans and also longer term wish list of features that would be great to have. If you could help us with any of these items that would be very helpful. It is also likely that we have not thought of everything and so if you have an idea for a feature, please propose your idea on these pages or just go ahead and do it and then post on the forums about your work.
