Recent development activity was mostly geared at raw block device and 
filesystem aio (as that's what the testers are using).  I did post patches 
for network aio, but dropped them due to time constraints.  Now that the 
most recent flurry of fixes to the aio core is complete (it's looking 
very good now), I need to get the core bits updated for 2.5 and see how 
much can be merged.  As for help, the network bits need polish and testing 
to get to the near-release quality of the rest of the code.
