I really like your energy but I think you might have better luck
contributing to a different project. I'm sad to say that papercuts is a
dead project. The only way you can improve it is by attracting more
developers but even then most of the bugs are hard to fix because they
are about the gui and everyone has a different opinion on how things
should work, the hard part is not creating a patch but convincing the
project maintainers its the correct way to do things.

I put a lot of effort into this project and fixed a bunch of bugs, it
was a great way to start contributing to Linux as a developer but I
moved on a while ago, Chris Wilson also put a lot of work in trying to
bring this project back to life, you can probably see some of our ideas
for improving the project if you take a look in the mailing list
archives.

I'm sorry to say but I truly believe the only way this project will get
moving again is if Canonical starts taking it seriously again but they
seem to have stopped caring a long time ago.

However feel free to prove me wrong on all of this.
