I suggest just using this from the http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net website:

BibDesk is a graphical BibTeX-bibliography manager for Mac OS X.
BibDesk is designed to help organize and use bibliographic databases
in BibTeX .bib format. In addition to manual typing, BibDesk lets you
drag & drop or cut & paste .bib files into the bibliographic database
and automatically opens files downloaded from PubMed. BibDesk also
keeps track of electronic copies of literature on your computer and
allows for searching your database through several keys.

And as far as what development tasks could use extra hands, for now
I'd say the following, although if we get a lot of response we might
put a list of projects up on the wiki:

BibDesk is an active project that makes full use of its bug and
feature request trackers. If you want to help out, find or create a
feature request you want to implement or a bug you want to fix, join
the developer mailing list[1] and talk to us! Non-coding help that is
always appreciated is translation, web site and wiki improvements,
documentation, testing, etc...

How's that sound?
