Bimal, if you truly want to help the project, you could roll up your
sleeves and start working on fixing some of the bug reports at
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net.  I am sure there are also translations

instance of majoring on the minors, and of taking something perfectly good
and breaking it just for the sake of doing something.
