Sure! Depending on your background:

* If you're an admin, install it and have a play around with it. Test 
it, make sure it all works as intended. I need feedback for this so I 
can make sure it is as near flawless in basic operation as possible.

* If you're a coder, have a look at the WHOIS server and try to make it 
adhere more to the standard. Some clients are sending the TLD first, 
then the domain name rather than just the domain name. I'd like the 
WHOIS server to respond properly (especially for Windows clients :)).

We are also wanting to flesh out ideas for the Remote Management API, if 
you have any ideas or suggestions for that, send them in.

Beyond that, we will look at extending the WHOIS server so it can be 
queried at one central source, which then forwards the queries to the 
respective TLD server. We may want to put forth the idea to the 
Hostmastering Working Group that the Tier0 or a designated Tier1 server 
acts as head WHOIS master server that all the other TLD servers respond 
to, as well as the TLD servers responding for themselves.

That's all I can think of for now, until someone else chimes in.
