trolling for helpers

[Aaron Seigo]

hey all....

as you may or may not know i was possessed by some unnamed evil spirit that 
coerced me into taking on the maintenance of kicker.

kicker is a pretty big, and even daunting, stretch of code. but there are a 
lot of things that could/should be done that do not require a rocket 
scientist at the helm.

if anyone is interesed in working on kicker in any of the following areas, 
please let me know. i'm more than happy to play guide / mentor / patch 
tester / question answerer / naughty nurse for you. well, maybe not naughty 
nurse.

	0. Bug triage. There are 136 open bugs and 289 open wishes. Many of these 
simply have not been triaged.

	1. Bug fixing. Many of the bugs I've come across while doing triage in the 
last week have been relatively trivial to fix. Usually the biggest blocker to 
fixing kicker bugs is knowing where in the codebase to start looking. I can 
usually point out the location of the code in question quite quickly.

	2. Documentation writing. Both developer and user targeted documentation 
needs doing.

	3. Q/A. there are a bajillion possible setting combinations in kicker. Q/A, 
which is somehow related to Bug Triage, would be great.

	4. Feature additions. well, this one is sef explanatory.
