Great, we really have no one working on JEE support in Gentoo. J2EE is a
bit old these days with even JEE 5 being replaced in the next year or so
with JEE 6.

Excellent, pretty much just dive in. Start taking care of what ever
needs you have. As you progress and interact with us we will grant you
overlay commit access to the various Java overlays. Based on your level
of interest, skill, etc, you can look to move on to a full on dev, take
quizzes etc.

This is our page we point people to as all the normal stuff we tell
people when inquiring about helping out. It's entirely volunteer,
nothing is assigned and things are occasionally delegated. It's mostly
just scratching ones own itches or etc. So what one does or doesn't do
with regard to contributions is entirely up to the individual.
