<p>
-Due to severe attrition this past year, we now just barely have enough
-manpower to maintain our 350+ packages. This leaves hardly any leftover
-time and energy to extend our offering into new areas, such as natively
-compiled Java packages using gcj, extensively packaging popular
-Eclipse plugins, or creation of a stable and complete J2EE
-development platform.
+ We are always looking for more help. We barely have enough
+ manpower to maintain our 350+ packages. Not to mention packages that
+ require a dedicated maintainer like Eclipse, Netbeans, Tomcat, Resin,
+ and several others that are no longer in true for this very reason.
+ Specifically JBoss and Jetty. Others like Glassfish, Jasper Reports,
+ OpenJDK/IcedTea, etc.
</p>
+<p>
+ On top of all that we need time and energy to extend our offering into new
+ areas. Such as natively compiled Java packages using gcj, providing an all
+ open source from source Java vm, developing a framework for packaging
+ webapps, packaging popular webapps themselves, or creation of a stable and
+ complete J2EE development platform.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ There are lots of areas we are in need. We are always seeking new team
+ members, be it contributors or developers. All efforts are voluntary.
+ We do not assign tasks or do much deligation of duties. Pretty much
+ jump in and start helping out is our motto.
+</p>
+
<p>
If you have any interest in helping please read
- <uri link="getting-involved.xml">Getting Involved</uri>
+ <uri link="getting-involved.xml">Getting Involved</uri>. Then get moving on
+ the ideas suggested in that document. The Java Team members are more
+ than happy to help at any point along the way.
