JADE is an Open Source Project aimed at aggregating the interest and the effort of a community of developers and users that wish to collaborate in order to create a technology. Collaboration is facilitated and efforts rewarded by the LGPL license, under which terms JADE is distributed, which do not exclude even the commercial exploitation of applications based on this technology.
The following is a list of tasks, some expected to require a minor effort
while others a major one, for which we welcome and solicit the help of
volunteers in the community. In case you wished to volunteer for some
of these tasks, please post an e-mail to 
by indicating a date for the delivery and integration of your work. If
you want to contribute an add-on, please check
