Anybody interested can keep an eye on the help wanted label in the issue tracker. We'll try to keep that up to date with things that could be tackled if you happen to have the matching skills but at this point are just talk and nobody is working on yet.
@Caleb That's a fair question. I really just went with what I am comfortable with and can understand, which isn't make. It can be a very confusing format, and I can't follow the dependencies of tasks even in your rather short makefile. And if ant was needed because make couldn't do it all, then I'd prefer one system that can. I hadn't used gulp before yesterday, but I already quite like it.
