That definitely puts a damper on things in general.  If you can't agree
to contribute code or ideas to this effort, then I think writing plugins
against whatever we come up with/reporting bugs is the next step.=20
However, even using the bug tracker or wiki requires agreement to the
contribution agreement there.

I suppose I need to turn the question around.  How do you feel you can
best help?  Also, what about the contribution agreement is disagreeable?
