Adding after the meeting: kwadronaut: i arrived late at the meeting. I use thanks to different projects a lot of different cms's and touch their different aspects: code, user, admin and documentation. I am also spending a lot of time currently on translations and find that a very important aspect of any cms: internationalisation. I don't know yet how i can contribute to this specific project.
