The biggest thing the committers need help with is testing and review. In other
words, just try out the patches (or add patches ;) ) and comment on what you
tested and what the results were.
Right now committers have to test and review and commit things, ie take on the
full load for these issues, and it's a big problem because lots of patches
contributed have problems with them, and way too often these are not caught
before the commit. Sometimes they are not caught for months after.
So yeah, testing and feedback/review are huge places where lots of people can
help.
That's also a great way to move toward becoming a committer... ;)

There seems to be many JIRA issues stuck in 2006. Are there a lack of

I am willing to review those issues and write up findings for them, and
put my name down as the guy to look for in case of problems there.
Reason? I am trying to gift-wrap OFBiz best as I can, tie up loose ends
and such. My focus will mainly be on framework and somewhat-framework
components that:
1. Novices come into contact with (not the deep and complex ones),
2. Are painfully and inexcusably incomplete.
Some issues I had even fixed in my own implementations, but are still
unresolved in JIRA. Some issues even have patches that work, but are
also unresolved.
Let me know if I can help this way? Thanks.
