Definitely. Unfortunately, Maxima is very alien to me. I have been learning LISP just to work with Maxima, but unfortunately I'm still very poor in it and even less with Maxima codebase. For a few months I'll probably be quite busy--until I'll graduate with MSc in information engineering. Maybe there could be some central maintainer who would distribute the list of things-to-do into Maxima mailing list? And then anybody could reply, "I'll do it", who can do it. I already made a patch to add GNU readline support and fixed some problems with build (I think the problems exist with glibc2.06). These were not accepted, but it's hard to me to improve those.
