Jeff,

Any help is appreciated. Most of the new work is on the 0.9.x series
(GNOME 2.0). If you are familiar with Java and Perl, python should be a
breeze. Think of python as a version of perl that you can read a week
later :-)

Several things that need work are:

* New reports. GRAMPS has a pretty good infrastructure for the
  development of reports. I hope to have it documented over the 
  next week or so.

* Integration of gnome-print, so that reports can be printed directly
  to the printer.

* Conversion of the ANSEL/Unicode translations algorithms from python
  to C.

* Import and export of GEDCOM 6.0.

* Improvements in the postscript output (including unicode support).

* Support for gnome-db, allowing alternate database backends to be used
 (such as MySQL)

* Anything else you can think of.
