Archetype is the best JavaScript project in the world, how can I contribute?

Contact us through our mailing list: archetype-user@googlegroups.com and we will set up an account for you in the project resources.

If you want to do some coding, you will need a JavaScript IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, Komodo...), a JavaScript debugger such as Firebug, and a Mercurial client.

I have a few ideas, where can I send them to you?
