[Seaside] Seaside 3.4.2 & help wanted!

[Esteban Maringolo]

Hi Johan,

Thanks for leading the development and releases of Seaside!

As I've been using Seaside continuously during the last year I also
felt guilty of not contributing back to the development of it.

What would be the best way to do it? I see there are a lot of issues,
but many are tagged as 3.5 and 3.6.
Is there a priority list? Are there low hanging fruits that can be
used to gain momentum in the contribution process?

I'm currently exploring changes or extensions (that I think are
enhancements) to the core model, to expose an app to be session-less
for most of its use, but it's an exploratory long road that I take
in my spare time that might end up being a dead-end.

Best regards.

Esteban A. Maringolo
