What I can suggest is to get the latest Classpath from git and give it a try and see what areas that can be improved are most of your interest. I personally would like to see more sound and ImageIO support; for sound, for example, we have a GStreamer pipeline, this could be improved and also add MIDI support. Anyway, all those areas are pretty interesting. Cheers, Mario
