I have been just listening here for some time, and I have never really gotten a feeling for what is requried, and when I asked I was told to listen in.... I am very busy but I often work on and document systems (Coda, WMVare, IPv6/IPsec), and if there was a simple framework that I could contribute them into then I would. Also if I knew what was requried I might get ambitious every once in a while, and just write something because it is needed. I will continue to listen in :).
