Hi Joseph, I think a first step would be to introduce yourself on the developer mailing list. Actually I have done that by forwarding your email now :)
We had ideas about the catalogue too however lack of time was always a problem so that would be really appreciated if you can contribute to that area. Also as we are currently changing a lot of the source code it would be also welcome if you could test and debug together with us. For feedback even as Non-Committer you always have the chance to contribute to the wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENMEETINGS/ For example to write down test results et cetera.
