1. Documentation Updates
2. Bug Fixes
3. Improvements
4. New Features
5. Testing a component and creating automated tests (JUnit, Selenium)

Documentation Updates

We have a lot work related to. We have done some work tidying up our Technical Documentation and next we would like to focus on the End User Documentation but help with any documentation is always welcome. We are consolidating all our documentation into the Wiki so will be moving documents from the End User Documetation workspace.Some of the key tasks we need help with are :

• Writing End User Documentation for the Wiki - we need help filling in any documentation gaps
• Reviewing the existing documentations - we may have information that is now out of date or has been duplicated and need help identifying these
  
• Updating existing documentation - correcting existing documentation and making sure all that it is up to date

Bug Fixing

We use JIRA to report and manage any reported bugs. We need people to help us review the list of outstanding bugs and help us resolve them. You can help us by

• Reviewing the list of open JIRA issues an assigning yourself to an open issue - (NOTE: Contributors can now assign themselves to JIra issues and this let's us know that you are working on them)
• Providing a patch for a JIRA issue (If you are not setup as a contributor you can still help us by providing a patch for a reported problem - just attach the patch to the issue and add a comment with the details)

Testing:

• Review JIRA issues and confirm if the original reported issue still exists (we have a lot of issues that may now be out of date but havent been closed )
• Test patches that have been submitted by community members to fix issues (before we can commit these we need a thorough test that the patch works and doesnt break any existing functionality)

Bug Fixing

• Review JIRA an assign yourself to an open issue then look at providing a patch to fix the issue
