Hi Bill! Thanks for your offer to help. My focus is on the EPF Composer 
tooling. Off the top of my head, here are some ideas for you to focus on 
right away:

EPF Composer needs thorough testing in two dimensions. The first is in 
the dimension of cross-platform compatibility. This means being able to 
build, run, and view published content on non-Windows operating systems 
like UNIX, Linux, OS X, BSD, and any others where Eclipse can run.

The second dimension has to do with upcoming releases from Eclipse, like 
3.2, and upcoming releases of EMF, GEF, etc. We want EPF Composer to 
stay current with other Eclipse projects, so having an idea of how we 
are affected ahead of time is valuable. I have not yet tried building 
and running EPF Composer under the latest WTP all-in-one SDK 1.1, for 
example. EPF Composer is stable on Windows, so I would recommend 
starting there for this work.

You can use the development guide to set up your build/run/debug 
environment:

This guide was recently written, as is most of the material on the site, 
so any feedback you have about that is appreciated.

Regards,
Jim
