Views 2 is currently being updated for Drupal 6 compatibility, but it needs major help in order to be ready for the Drupal 6's approximate release date! We're short on people and short on time, so here's the bottom line. Without your assistance and contributions, there will be no Views for Drupal 6 within any useful timeframe. If we don't have Views 2 ready for the D6 release date, the vast majority of casual users might not even bother to download and try Drupal 6. That would be bad, so you need to get involved in helping to complete Views 2 so this scenario doesn't happen!

What can I do to assist?

There are still four major areas that need to be completed: User Interface, Handlers, Documentation, and the Upgrade Path. Here's how you can get involved:

Views 2 Priorities

• User Interface [managed by dmitrig01]
  There are several key features in the User Interface that need some help, but they're too detailed to explain here.
  If you would like to help code it, or if you're themer who likes intelligible design, we want your skill.
• HandlersSmall chunks of code that tell Views about other modules that may exist. Handlers provide the 'core integration' functionality.
  • Comment
  • Book
  • Comment
  • Forum
  • Profile
  • Search
  • Statistics
  • Taxonomy
  • Upload
• Upgrade path
• Documentation
  • In-module documentation for end users (tooltips, help pages) [managed by dmitrig01]
  • Drupal.org End-user Handbook documentation [managed by Senpai]
  • Drupal.org Handbook Developer documentation
  • Drupal.org Handbook Themer documentation

Who we need

• Able coders who are willing to donate some hours to the effort
• Documentation writers who are willing to write a paragraph or three.
• People who can over-see other people and are able to do either of the above (we're still looking for over-seers for some areas).

How you can help

Please leave a comment in this thread about your availability, what you capabilities are, and what you'd be willing to work on. 
We'll handle it from there. 
We really need help under these four categories but if you can think of anything else you'd like to help with, then go ahead and make a comment about that too.
