Are you fluent in English and SQL?
The Firebird Docs team is calling for people who are fluent in both English and Firebird’s SQL to assist with reviewing the English text of the Firebird 2.5 Language Reference manual. Of 10 chapters and 8 Appendices, 4.5 chapters are still untouched by reviewers. It would be good to have the reviewing done to coordinate with the forthcoming 2.5.5 release but correctness takes priority.
Still to do are: half of the DDL chapter, DML, PSQL, Functions and Variables, Transactions.
If you feel able to help with the review, please subscribe to the [firebird-docs] list here and make yourself and your preferred topics known.

Work for django-firebird continue with support for Django 1.7.x
Maxi Robaina wrote on the django-firebird mailing list
Greetings folks,
After a long time (Sorry, I have a lot of work), I finally could merge the develop branch (experimental) into master. That means the master branch is now the “official” stable branch. This is based on django 1.7 and need to be tested more deeply, especially the new migration feature.
The last stable version of django is 1.8.x LTS and the 1.9 version is in beta 1 stage. So, django-firebird 1.7 (still in alpha), it will be a transition version and the idea is that let’s have a new django-firebird with django 1.8 support, I hope soon.
By now, we need close some issues before promote the master branch to first release candidate, mainly those labeled as bug.
How can you help?
