Hi Hari - thanks for your help!
First, read this page:
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathOpenTasks
As you can see, there's still lots to do. I expanded the "Sound"
section yesterday, so I would personally like to see more activity on
the sound providers, but really any project you feel comfortable with
would be great.
Hi Hari,
If you are interested in Swing, our javax.swing.* needs lots of
refinement. A good place to start would be to run the Intel test suite
and see if there are bugs you can fix (some are easy, some not so easy):

Another useful task would be to try getting third party look-and-feels
to work with our javax.swing implementation. In theory, they should
work...in practice, I'm sure some tweaks to our implementation will be
required.
Outside of Swing, it would be great if you/someone could try out iText
(a PDF generation library) to see how well it works on GNU Classpath:

Anyway, welcome aboard!
Regards,
Dave
P.S. I'll put some notes about these on the wiki when I get a chance.
