I want to:
...help testing
...report a bug
...write documentation
You want to help, but do not know C or FreeBSD that well?
The absolute best thing you can do is download the latest release, install it, and try all your favorite Java applications.  If they don't work, see below.
I have a bug!
If you find an application that does not work, or crashes, here are the steps you should follow before reporting it:
- Try it again.
 
- Check your settings for this application.  Check to see if you made a mistake in starting it up.
 
- Try it on a different platform.  If you have access to a reference platform, try it there.  (We need to determine if it is an application error, a Java bug, or a FreeBSD specific bug.)
 
- Narrow down the problem.  If it is your own code, narrow down the bug to the offending code.  Otherwise, determine the steps required to reproduce the problem.
 
- Notify the JDK porting team.  Send email to freebsd-java@FreeBSD.org.  Be sure to include the steps you have followed.
 
- Finally, and most importantly, be willing to work with the team to fix the problem.
 
I can help with the web site or documentation!
Everyone can help here.  If you have a suggestion to add to the documentation, write it up and send it to freebsd-java@FreeBSD.org
