[dsdp-mtj-dev] possible involvement?

Hi, all,

I'd add some forces to MTJ if it is welcome:) I get some "HelpWanted" infos from Craig Setera at [1]. Recently, I posted some "InvolvementWanted" infos to other Eclipse projects. But have not got validate feedbacks, which is mentioned in my blog[2]. I am not sure whether your guies would like to accept me?:)

I  used to use the EclipseME 4 years ago.  The basic functionalities for EclipseME in my memory is much nice as a tool for Sun WTK. Now, maybe we can widen the zone under the umbrella of MTJ. 

I have not seen the detail future plan of MTJ from the website or wiki. Are there some links hidden from me? I just add some my coarse ideas about what I can do under MTJ.

1. bug fixing. I suggest to make bugs to be assignned to me, or I leave a mark to the bugs(before being as a committer). Let's avoiding duplicated fixings. There seem not much bugs opened by users?(good enough or rare user?^_^) So, I guess this task is easy.
2. cooperate with some sub-projects in MTJ if have.
3. some ideas for future MTJ.  from the name of MTJ, we do anything about mobile tools for java. there are many things that would be done under MTJ:

1> advocate fluent(smooth) workflow. that is, MTJ just add more or less convenience especailly for mobile side, And I as a Java programmer from other side, MTJ could be easily integrated into their toolboxs.(maybe It is not problem for current MTJ).( Maybe we can add some toolings to mobile workflow side or codes migration? ) 
2> interoperation with existed mobile efforts in the  Eclipse firstly. such as provide configuration/graphical tooling support for mobile OSGI/eRCP/eSWT...  I'd like to do some work under this aspects if MTJ think it acceptable.
3> CDC side tooling. I play some CDC things recently[2]. It is a cool technology. I am not sure whether the MTJ support this side things (such as J2ME SDK support?). With the mobile become more powerful. CDC side things will become more important. I'd like to do some work under this aspects if MTJ think it acceptable.
4> other mobile platform support. MTJ has done good work. There are still many potential works.
From reasons of some committers leaving, I guess Android will not put into the MTJ recently? Because android  do not support Java?
5> construct mobile java tooling infrastructure, to foster more advanced mobile java technologies tooling on the top of MTJ. 
6> others....


Best regards,
Jin Mingjian
