Absolutely.  All are welcome.

Right now, I'm the only one hacking the code, and no one else has
volunteered.  Understanding the Rete algorithm (and my Rete-OO adaptation)
seems to be the biggest impediment.

drools v1.0 had its own java-derived language.  v2.x has explicitly
avoided having the engine care at all about the rule specification
language.  It should be possible, I think, to create a RuleML driver
to load the rules into the engine.  

I really need to do more research on RuleML.

Anyhow, adding things like RuleML to drools would layer nicely
on top of the current logic engine, and wouldn't require any
knowledge of Rete, really.  The only interface point you'd
have to worry about is the org.drools.spi.* classes and
interfaces.
