Yes, we can still use more help, but I must admit that there are 
probably not as many low-hanging fruit right now as there were some 
time ago. 

We have a 2.4 package in experimental since a few weeks and I expect a 
significant influx of new bug reports as soon as we upload that 
package to unstable (which will hopefully happen before end of April). 
Of course, if you want to review and/or test that package, that would 
be welcome. The packaging work is done in the "next" branch of our git 
repository: 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-apache/apache2.git 

Arno and I discuss quite a few things on IRC. If you do IRC, you 
should join #debian-apache on irc.debian.org (which is an alias for 
irc.geo.oftc.net). There is also a wiki page that contains info on 
open tasks and what has been done already:

http://wiki.debian.org/Apache2Transition

I suggest that you look at the experimental package and browse through 
the wiki page and see what interests you. If you have experience with 
using Debian's apache, modules, and web apps packages, you should 
definitely comment on discussions and bug reports that come up on 
debian-apache@lists.debian.org (you should subscribe to that list, 
obviously). More informed opinions are always good.

If you have questions, just ask.

Cheers,
Stefan
