Two kinds of major changes are going on:
* Support for the new Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 specifications. The JSP
changes are VERY substantial; the servlet ones much less so. A bunch
of this stuff has been implemented already, but is certainly in need
of bugfixes and other sorts of improvements.
* A couple of years history with the Catalina architecture has taught
us some places where refactoring would be appropriate to create more
maintainable and flexible code (as well as some spots where performance
can still be improved, although the current 4.1 code is much better
than earlier iterations).

That would be super! Guidelines for getting involved in Jakarta based
projects are outlined on the web site, starting at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html
For Tomcat, the obvious place to get involved is on the TOMCAT-DEV mailing
list. The not-so-obvious but also useful place is the COMMONS-DEV list --
a bunch of these pacakges are used in Tomcat already, and it's quite
likely that some current Tomcat code will be refactored out into general
purpose commons projects.
