I can? learn how to do things? I only have a classroom-level understanding of Java at this point, so there's certainly a lot for me to relearn if I'm to contribute to the codebase. As for real experience, I've worked both on Ruby on Rails and PHP web applications, as well as their database backends. The biggest barrier to entry is the (AFAIK) lack of any updated guide of how to get involved, as well as how everything's currently set up. I didn't want to bother people with "noob" questions, so I've been lurking instead. One thing I personally would like to do is provide a Mac-style install bundle for OSX users, so that the install process looks more professional from the perspective of a Mac user. Once the bundle itself is set up, it should be very easy to script any changes to the installer for future updates.
