Hi,
I'd be more than happy to help you out, especially since it ultimately ends up
helping myself :-)
The bugday POW is as yet unclaimed. David Chart, Tim LaDuca and Alan Horkan
have been doing some great work triaging bugzilla when they have some spare
cycles. But there hasn't been an official bugday hosted in a while (Jesper and
myself were hosting it on Wednesdays). We were hanging out on
irc.gnome.org#abiword. BitchX, XChat, MIRC, KIrc are all good IRC clients.
The web site hasn't been "really" updated in a while though Jared Davis did
post a newly designed prototype (which looked quite good) a few days ago on
this list. Please check the archives (www.abisource.com under the developer's
section).
The "where to send abi announcements" POW has been kind-of worked on by myself,
Jesper, Christian Schaller, Hub, and a few other people, but the POW is by no
means finished or taken.
So what I suggest you doing is looking at these above links first, and then
getting in touch with the people I've mentioned above when you feel that you're
ready to tackle one of the POWs. You'll want to cc: at least me on your mails
too, please.
Thanks!
Dom
