MPL then. Aleksey isn't very active anymore, and Dave is swamped. A simple thing you can do is check what differences exist between trunk and release for mpl and figure out how to bring release in sync. Be sure to check that the test result on trunk look healthy. Make specific proposals on this list and cc Dave and Aleksey. With their approval, you can merge to release (lots of folks here can help with that), and then watch the release test results to make sure you didn't break anything.
I need to be careful I don't attempt to bite off more then I can chew with this ( I have a Job, GSoC and not as much free time as I would like). I may not have enough free cycles due to GSoC, but I'll do my best to try to get to this. Also if I have question should I just put them on list?
Once you've gotten your feet wet, you can troll through the MPL bug list and start fixing bugs.
And if not a library, then docs or test or website or infrastructure. Where do you think you'd like to help?
I would like to start out bug fixing and anything that involves complicated programming.
I can do website stuff if there is need for it, but from what I have read on list I can't tell if there has been a decision made to actually do something about the website or not.
Not sure yet. Dave and I will need help with website stuff eventually. Our ryppl-ized version of Boost will have a different architecture, and we will certainly need a new website to reflect that.
Alright please let me know if you need extra hands when it comes time to work on that.
