There are many ways to contribute. If you want to handle ia64 specific
things, I suggest to hang out on the ia64 mailinglist (CCed) and try to
find something you can do (or ask them what to do).
Or you can have a look at the port-build logs at
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/ and find ports which are broken on ia64
and fix them.
Another possibility would be to just pick one of the generic items on
the ideas list and try to implement it. This isn't specific to ia64
then, but it can also be used there.
Bye,
Alexander.
