Über-cool - someone looking for work! :)

There are a thousand things to do. The most productive things are likely
those you stumble over when using Xenomai in your project. What is not
working? What could be solved better or should be added? Also: What
features should be checked against regressions while the development
advances (more automatic test cases - very important!)?

Besides this, here are some more potential points to start with:

 o https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-core/2007-08/msg00017.html :)

 o Write more examples/tutorials for your favourite skin (see examples
   repos in SVN).

 o Check the code against its (doxygen) documentation - everything still
   up-to-date? Something yet undocumented?

 o Work with Paul Corner (paul_c@domain.hid) on some regularly updated
   Xenomai LiveCD (I guess he would be happy about help).

 o Enhance the testsuite / test script to collect more data, and
   specifically to evaluate the data more systematically (up to
   re-creating something like http://issaris.org/rtai/summary.php). To
   start with: I once had the idea to create some statistics collection
   library for the testsuite so that all tests could use the same
   infrastructure to process/visualise benchmark results.

 o ... (things I forgot)
