Richard,
Thanks for the offer. Take a look at
http://us4.samba.org/samba/development.html and
see what looks interesting to you. There's a todo list
linked at the bottom of the page as well as some
development resources.
We try to coordinate efforts on this mailing list so
we don't step on each other. Once I get projects firmly
delved out to people, I'm considering posting who
has claimed what in order to give a point of contact.
We'll see. I haven't decided about that yet. For now,
just post quesitons, proposals, etc... to this list
and we'll work on it.
Cheers, jerry
