There are a lot of room where we can contribute.
Samba 4 TP is the starting point.

My idea is the following
  1) making regression tests of Samba 3 smb.conf
     making a compatibility list between Samba 3 and Samba 4
  2) finding bugs, reporting them, and fixing them
  3) coding some functions

What do you think?

Any way, we will make a plan how/where we'd contribute.

  Hiro
