One of the reasons for choosing the Open Source method is to ensure that development is not limited by our own resources alone. We can also use some help in doing translations of the software and documentation writing. If you're creative, we can also use themes.

If you don't want to post in public forums you can also send an email to ivo@achievo.org with your suggestions.
