on the web tools project project page there is a section called "Get
Involved!".
It said "The PMC is currently evaluating proposals for code contributions
and participation in the project. The technical direction and scope of the
project will be determined by contributions of the active participants. "
Question: How and to whom do I propose contributions to?

This project is in a bit of a standstill right now, quick summary (MY
interpretation, I very well could be way off):
1) Project was announced, lot of people interested
2) Eclipse project wants to get some real "official" bodies onboard
(companies) with donating time and code so this project has more offical
direction and meets the real-world needs. I personally this is a smart
move, to make companies interested/happy with your project; that
probably means more paid developers or code donated to the project, etc.
3) Arthur mentioned we would have an update 2 weeks ago after a meeting
with some of these more official bodies, but nothing came out of it. BUT
he has mentioned that there are quite a few contributers nibbling at the
bit waiting to contribute some time/code. He also mentioned that some of
the IBM guys have some web services code to contribute right off the bat
(cool!)
4) We haven't heard anything since, but can't really blame Arthur, he
has to wait for so many other parts to come together.
I image you could contact him about contributions (ryman@ca.ibm.com).
Best,

Riyad,
We've had a few more meetings and our next one is Monday. Given the
track record, I'm not expecting anything to get resolved soon. However,
I am organizing my development team with the assumption that we'll be
building our next major release on the eclipse Web Tools platform. We're
rearchitecting our product to make it easier to move to a pure J2EE set
of plug-ins (yes, at present we're a little guilty of mixing in
WebSphere-isms).

Thanks for the reply Arthur,
We look forward to all working with you when things finally get
resolved. Admitedly this isn't a minor task (since J2EE is such a hot
topic right now... you need to do it *right* so to speak).
